Northport Water Park

Leaders in Northport have voted to partner with Texas developers to build a sprawling, almost 80-acre lagoon resort far from the 11-acre "neighborhood" water park once pitched to residents.

The President of the Northport City Council shared renderings Tuesday offering a sneak peak at the water park he hopes to see open by next summer.

The Northport City Council took steps to advance plans to build an advenure park, a sports complex and a water park, which are expected to cost $40 million.

Leaders in Northport approved plans for two new recreational spaces Monday, getting one step closer to bringing a riverside sportsplex and a new outdoor adventure park to the city.

TTL was awarded a contract that will pay them up to $150,000 to create a master plan for the development of recreation facilities on 150 acres of land in Northport Monday.

The study, conducted by Victus Advisors, prioritized that in order for these facilities to work in Northport, the city would need enough water, a significant public interest, and adequate space to support such a project.
