History

Mayor Bill Nighbert and Tourism Director Alvin Sharpe needed to renovate the city's public swimming pool, which had been run down for some time. The facility needed repairs in excess of half a million dollars, and they decided to add a few slides and a watering mushroom to make the pool more attractive and for the kids. However, the idea of a full waterpark, like the one in a neighboring town, was approved. The city acquired a 55-acre (22 ha) farm to build the recreation area called Hal Rogers Family Entertainment Center.

Park attractions include Lazy Castaway River, Tadpole Island, Triple Slide Complex, Wipe Out Wave Pool, Kentucky Falls Miniature Golf, Kentucky Smash Driving Range, Strike Three Batting Cage, and Thunder Road Go-Karts.
