Huge: Williston's New Recreation Center -- Has Just Gotten Bigger

Link to Williston Herald. Please go to the link to see the artist's drawing. Absolutely spectacular.

Data points:

• now up to 241,000 square feet (originally, 204,000 square feet)
• $67 million
• to be located on the campus of Williston State College
• water center (see more below)
• indoor playground
• racquetball courts
• golf simulator
• an indoor track
• tennis courts
• turf field
• basketball courts
• meeting rooms
• "and more"

There is disagreement over the quality of the water park complex. Williston Park Board President says the water center will "top-flight." The developer says it will be "spectacular":

• a 50-meter competition pool; half million gallons of water
• an instruction pool nearly the same size as Williston's current indoor pool in the Hagan Aquatic Center
• a lazy river with two water slides overhead
• a walk-in leisure pool with overhead fountains
• a whirlpool
• and, a surf simulator (like those commonly seen at water-theme parks)

I think "a spectacular, top-flight, water park" sounds about right.

Actually, this is really, really incredible.
