GRAND SCALE
Epic Waters is not just a waterpark, it's part of Grand Prairie's plan to make Epic Grand Central the grandest recreation complex possible for its residents. Epic Waters is a large park with many exciting attractions in its own right, but it's also part of a 172-acre complex with indoor and outdoor facilities designed to meet the needs of people of all ages, abilities and demographics.

OPEN FEEL
The facility's retractable roof improves ventilation by letting in fresh air to create a truly outdoor atmosphere, making Epic Waters' design a win-win solution for both Grand Prairie and the park's visitors. Maintaining an open feel to the park was a priority, and balancing that with incorporating all of the requested elements was one of the main challenges. This was accomplished through both the OpenAire structure that allows light and fresh air into the waterpark, along with the tiered pool design that offers some separation between attractions.
