Allen is courting Wisconsin-based Kalahari Resorts and Conventions to build a 1.2-million square-foot waterpark and resort center in the city, less than two months after a wakeboarding park closed in the area.

It's been years since I suited up and got soaked at this overheated, oversized play zone. I was long overdue for a return trip.

The city of Allen is proposing actions to support the potential expansion of Kalahari Resorts & Conventions into the Dallas-Fort Worth market, which could bring significant economic benefits to the local community.

A new vacation resort for families with an indoor water park and other attractions could be coming to North Texas.
