A couple of years from now, people might be enjoying a water park in the Cedar Rapids area.

CR Fun Ventures recently released renderings for what it calls the Cedar Bayou Park. It would be an indoor and outdoor waterpark with a hotel, restaurant and much more.

CEO Nick Ford says he is considering a few different sites in southern Cedar Rapids and North Liberty.

He would like to build the park in two phases. The first phase would be creating the 60,000 to 65,000 square foot indoor water park with a lazy river, water rides and a bayou-cajun themed bar. The second phase would include the outdoor water park, cafe, hotel, zipline and medical complex.

Mayor Ron Corbett endorses the project. It is in the very early stages, but Ford would like to see it open by March of 2018.
