SIMPSONVILLE -- There is one more weekend of water park fun for residents and families at Discovery Island.
The water park, located in Southside Park between Simpsonville and Mauldin, will close for the season on Saturday, a Greenville County Recreation District press release said.
Hours will be from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
It said Discovery Island has had more than 120,000 guests -- three times the number of visitors the Greenville County Recreation District expected for the park's first year.
The success of the water park has officials looking at options. In the past few weeks, a Texas-based consultant was hired to do a feasibility study to see how to expand Discovery Island and whether another water park should be opened somewhere else in the county.
"The community is eager for more activities within the water park," Dan Rodgerson, executive director of the Greenville County Recreation District, said in the release.
"We are currently researching various funding options and amenities for the site. We are optimistic we can make it happen."
