The proposed site of City Splash, a water park contemplated under City Park’s master plan, has been changed to a more spacious location on Palm Drive under a plan approved last week by the park’s board.

The original plan called for putting the water attraction on the western edge of the park near Marconi Drive, between Dreyfous and Victory avenues. That changed because park officials decided the feature would need more space for parking and to accommodate a second phase, said Robert DeViney, the park’s chief operating officer.

The Palm Drive site, north of Roosevelt Mall and near the park’s administration building, is 8 acres, double that of the master plan’s original location.
