Shepherd Waterpark in the Works
The next time you pass through Main Street in Shepherd, look at the space near the baseball fields
on the westbound side, across from Shepherd Elementary School. You probably will see just the grass.
The City of Shepherd, however, sees potential. If the Shepherd City Council, the Shepherd Economic
Development Corporation and the Shepherd Chamber of Commerce have their way, that space will be
the site where people, young and old, can do even more than play ball; a place where jobs will be cre-
ated; and the centerpiece of an emerging boost in city tourism. The council, with the backing of the
chamber and of the corporation, plans to construct a pirate-themed “splash water park” at the site. Mini-
mally, the water park is envisioned as a 104 foot by 70 foot aquatic adventure filled with pools, slid-
ing tubes, spewing fountains, play sets, and make-believe larger-than-life cannons and sea creatures.
Plans for the installation of an observation deck, parking, canopies and trash receptacles will follow.
The proposed water park was the highlight of a joint meeting of the Chamber of Commerce and the Eco-
nomic Development Corporation held Friday, Nov. 19, at the Shepherd Community Center. A grant writer is
already working on developing ways to attract funding for the estimated $1.5 million project, Shepherd City
Councilman Waid Williams said, adding that state, federal and private sources will be tapped to make what he
envisions as a revenue-enhancing job creator a reality. A Texas-based expert in building water parks explained
— from his firm’s experience constructing such attractions in numerous cities — how this vision can impact
the Shepherd economy. “This is going to be an awesome splash park,” said Gilbert Fragosa, a design and sales
consultant for Kraftsman, a Spring-based developer of playground and water park equipment. “I guarantee you
this will bring a lot of people from surrounding communities; bring their dollars here, to the city of Shepherd.”
The park would be particularly beneficial to the youth, Brenda Myers, president of the Cleveland-
based Community & Children’s Impact Center, said. Myers leads an organization that provides func-
tions that divert youth from substance abuse, gang involvement and accompanying criminal potentiali-
ties. Having asked many young people what they would like to see in their communities, Myers said,
the response often has been, “a water park, a skateboard park. Give us something to do.” The wa-
ter park would give special-needs children, in particular, something enjoyable to do, Myers added.
