@forgottenworldwide: Joliet’s Splash Station Waterpark was a 20-acre outdoor water park located at 2780 Channahon Road (Route 6) in Joliet, Illinois. Opened in 2002, it provided family-friendly entertainment with attractions including water slides, a lazy river, and a swimming pool. The park experienced declining attendance and financial difficulties as the surrounding Route 6 corridor changed. After the 2019 season, the Joliet Park District permanently closed Splash Station because of continued financial losses, with the COVID-19 pandemic further affecting the facility’s future. The former waterpark property has remained closed and was subsequently listed for sale. With no plans to reopen, the site represents another former recreational destination in Joliet awaiting a new use or redevelopment. #illinois #usa🇺🇸
