The much-anticipated Montgomery Whitewater park is on target to open early this summer. The Olympic-style facility is “85% complete” according to officials, with a grand opening date to be announced in the coming weeks.

Keep reading for a rundown of what you can expect at this new summer hot-spot.

Olympic-standard whitewater and outdoor activities center

As reported by the Bama Buzz, the 120-acre site is located next to Maxwell Air Force Base near I-65, along the Alabama River and within walking distance to downtown Montgomery.

This unique facility differs from traditional waterparks in that they bring the challenge of rafting on real whitewater to an accessible location in the center of a buzzing community. The park features one of the few recirculating whitewater parks in the country.

In addition to whitewater, the park will offer:

Zip lining
Flat water kayaking & paddleboarding on the Alabama River
Bouldering
Mountain biking
Ropes course
40′ climbing structure

Entertainment

Not into whitewater rafting? This place will have something for everyone. Along with recreation activities, the park will offer various entertainment, dining, retail and hospitality options:

Retail stores
Outdoor amphitheater
Full-service restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating for ∼500 guests
Several spaces to hold both large and small scale events and meetings

The facility will hopefully become an attraction for both tourists and residents alike, featuring live music, events, instruction, races, activities for kids and more.
