Family Fun on North Padre Island
The North Padre Island real estate market is beginning to be greatly influenced by reports of the proposed new Schlitterbahn Beach Country Village and the proposed new smaller-scale San Antonio type River Walk that are being planned for North Padre Island and are due to open next year.
If the City of Corpus builds an $8.5 million bridge on the island using funds in conjunction with a $1.4 million bond program approved by voters in the 2004. Schlitterbahn will build the water park. a developer of the project with Schlitterbahn will extend and enlarge the current canal that ends just north of Whitecap to the bridge, crossing SPID at a point near the current 11th green on Padre Isles Country Club.
The canal would flow from Packery Channel through Lake Padre and into the island canal system and connect the Gypsy canal with the bridge.
The water park should be ready to open by Memorial Day 2013.
The Council’s decision to provide funds to pay to complete the 50 foot wide Aquarius extension means that there will be a new sidewalk, bike trails and a median of about 20 feet through what is now vacant area behind the Padre Island Country Club.
The 80′ wide bridge with an overhead 14′ clearance, near Park Road 22, would span a 60′ wide canal that does not currently exist, and when built, would include wide pedestrian walkways along the canal establishing the River Walk project. The canal would also provide direct access to the Gulf of Mexico effectively finishing what Packery Channel was supposed to start. Without this, fishing boats would have to travel through the Laguna Madre to Corpus Christi Bay to the Gulf of Mexico .
The Schlitterbahn North Padre Island waterpark site has been selected and will encompass some of the Padre Isles Country Club Golf Course. Plans now are to displace nine of the holes on the golf course by the new development with three new holes to be added to the west side of the course.
Once built, the Schlitterbahn Water Adventure Park should add about 300,000 more annual visitors, 3,000 more per day, adding to the 7 million tourists who come to the island each year.
Visiting families will be anxious to enjoy the park but will most likely reserve rooms at the many island vacation rentals rather than at the older inner city hotels or condos in Corpus Christi.
