The water park will be built near the new Gilbert Regional Park, which begins opening in September 2019.

“The Strand @ Gilbert has worked tirelessly with numerous different manufacturers throughout the world to bring the newest and most innovative technologies in water sports activity and amenities to Gilbert Regional Park,” says John McLaughlin, the CEO of the company that owns the park.
