A new two-acre waterpark called “Adventure Cove” has been opened courtesy of ADG.

The venue is located at Meridiana, a residential community in Iowa Colony, Texas.

Adventure Cove features a wave pool, tidal river, fitness centre, large pavilion and food truck park among other activities. 

“It’s like having a family waterpark right in the neighbourhood,” says Matt Lawson of Meridiana developer of Rise Communities.

“Amenities make a community and they’re a big reason why we continue to have such success.” 

ADG played the role of design/builder on the project, as well as supplying all specialty wave equipment for the property.

The new Tidal River covers 550ft in length and releases waves up to 2.5ft tall, every five seconds. The river channel is an average width of 16ft.

The new amenity village also is home to a 9,300 sq.ft wave pool powered by ADG’s wave technology featuring a gradual beach entry with family-friendly waves.

There is also an adventure pool where guests can have fun playing water basketball with the situated hoops in the corner of the pool. ADG designed the pool to feature in-water sun shelves for guests to tan while still enjoying the water and surrounded the pool with comfortable lounge seating.

“We know that people in Houston love water, so we definitely wanted to have a water component but create something different,” said Matt Lawson, the president of Rise Communities which developed Meridiana. “That’s why we worked with ADG to deliver a wave pool, tidal river and an island pool along with a number of other things.”

It is the latest achievement for Meridiana, who has received several awards such as Best Community of the Year, Community Recreation Center of the year, and Best Landscape Design of the Year.
