When the latest one said he wanted to put sand in, I told him it was a big mistake unless everything was designed to take it. The wave pool kept breaking down and sticky puddles and stains in the sand. I always had to leave at 4:00 PM because all the locals would flood in with their after four passes. Had a bunch of stuff stolen and got kicked a bunch in the pool by them. The previous owners never should have started the after 4 pass. I miss that park so much. I hooked up dozens of times there. Almost brings a tear to my eye to think about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812116909571848352.post-82075559036710284382012-06-12T00:04:12.293-04:002012-06-12T00:04:12.293-04:00Okay...to get there to see whatever is left take 2...Okay...to get there to see whatever is left take 275 west (away from i75) and exit winton road. Then take a left on winton and go for about2 miles or so. Eventually you will see a beautiful white company on the right with a bell steeple, turn right. This road winds around a lot. As you follow always try to stay right. You will weave through a neighborhood and end up in some industrial park crapiness. Look for the Huge church. It's behind the church. Wear clothes you can dips of and bring a change of clothes. You will have a long swampy walk. It's quite creepy, be ready and don't go alone. It's really cool but Very scary. It's also clear that people go there when they want to use!
