Huge water park with surf waves, water slide rides approved for Dingley Village in Melbourne
The biggest indoor water park in the southern hemisphere has been approved for Melbourne’s south east and sparked calls to rename the area the Kingston Coast.
The Old Dandenong Rd, Dingley Village, development will be located about 2km from the future home of the Hawthorn Football Club, and along with a spate of other improvements to the region is set to transform an area once known for vacant blocks and cow paddocks.
Dingley SurfnPlay Aquatic Park will feature everything from Melbourne’s second surf wave ride to water slides that catapult kids uphill and hi-tech water tunnels where kids can try for high-scores by hitting checkpoints.
