Construction

edit

Plans to build the amusement park were first laid out in 2011, and it was projected to employ 600 people. Construction was scheduled to commence in 2013, but was delayed until 2017.[1] The first phase of the project, Suntago Wodny Świat (lit. "Suntago Water World") was completed in 2019,[2] costing 170 million euro,[3] taking 37,000 cubic metres (1,300,000 cu ft) of concrete and 5000 tonnes of steel.[1] It opened on February 20, 2020.

Complex

Park of Poland covers an area of nearly 400 hectares (990 acres), purchased by the investor Global City Holdings.[4] Currently, the first part of the complex is in operation, Suntago Wodny Świat, covering an area of 20 hectares (49 acres) including parking, along with Suntago Village, a village of 92 bungalows, opened in spring 2020. Plans have also been made to construct a 4-star hotel.

Suntago Wodny Świat (lit. Suntago Water World) is split into 3 themed zones: Jamango, Relax and Saunaria.[5] It is the largest covered water park in Poland and Europe.[3]
