🌊 BIG PLANS REVEALED: Beach Park Seeking Approval for 3 Major Attractions!
South Padre Island’s "Beach Park at Isla Blanca" is planning a massive expansion to celebrate their 25th Anniversary in 2026! We’ve obtained documents showing plans for electric go-karts, a floating obstacle course, and a giant racing slide.
Since the waterpark is located inside Isla Blanca Park, the approval process is a little different than normal. Here is the path they have to take before breaking ground:
Because Isla Blanca Park is owned by Cameron County, the waterpark must first get permission from the County Commissioners Court to add these new structures to the land. They are currently seeking this approval.
Once the County says "Yes," the project then moves to the City of South Padre Island. The park will submit official architectural drawings to the SPI Building Department to get the actual safety and construction permits.
What’s Proposed:
🏎️ Electric Go-Kart Track: A first for the park!
🧘 Floating Obstacle Course
🛝 4-Lane "Hippo" Slide: A massive new racing slide.
The project is currently in Step 1 pending approval from the County Commissioners. If they get the green light, they aim to have everything ready for the 2026 Summer Season!
