Randall's Island Water Park approved

Crain’s NY Business reports that the NYC’s Franchise Review group has approved plans for the mega water park slated for Randall’s Island.

By a vote of five-to-one, the FCRC approved the final contract between the city and the Aquatic Development Group to build an 18.75-acre water park, complete with wave pools, water slides, raft rides and an indoor beach. It will also include a year-round 7.25-acre indoor park.

The project, slated to break ground next spring, will be privately financed by Cohoes, N.Y.-based ADG under a 35-year lease with the city.
