PROJECT DESCRIPTION

At 120,000 square feet, Island Waterpark at Showboat Resort is the largest beachfront indoor waterpark in Atlantic City and one of the largest open-air greenhouse structures in the country. Significant sitework was required to construct the polycarbonate superstructure as well as the associated mechanical and water systems. This included an initial 1,000-cubic-yard concrete pour that took seven hours to complete. The facility houses 11 water slides, six bars, a 6,500-foot lazy river, a wave simulator, boardwalk area, adult-only zone, and several additional areas. The project was completed on a fast-track schedule that was accelerated to meet the 2023 summer season.
