ALEXANDRIA, VA — Great Waves Waterpark could be replaced by a $117 million indoor sports and events complex, according to a proposal unveiled by Alexandria officials, the Washington Business Journal reported.
The proposed 210,000-square-foot venue at Cameron Run Regional Park would include flexible courts and turf for basketball, volleyball, pickleball, soccer, lacrosse and other sports. If approved, it would become Alexandria's largest event venue, with groundbreaking targeted for early 2029 and an opening planned for spring 2031.
Plans also call for more than an acre of public park space that could include trails, a playground, a dog park and an amphitheater.
The city would finance $107 million through general obligation bonds, while ALX Sports, a nonprofit established by the Alexandria Soccer Association, would contribute $10 million and operate the facility.
