Maybe they're listening to us?

Here's hoping that the 'Seasons of Tuxedo' plan comes out soon and literally 'blows them out of the water' -- Its good to see that there is recognition that 50,000sq/ft facility is not up to the standards of being a city-wide amenity. I think CanAlta's goal here is to try to cash in on the location as a hotel (which is undeniably a prime location for a hotel). The waterpark hype is merely what we're being sold on for them to get the site... and the grant money too.

Personally, I'd rather see the private developers go all-in on their water park, make it spectacular, and the city invest the 7M into maybe some upgrades at existing pools. The lack of family change rooms at Pan Am pool is one thing that comes to mind.
