When we first noted this "boondoggle" park was planned in Eroy just west of I-10, we said it was a really bad idea.
They based this park on one that recently opened in Myrtle Beach SC. Well, guess what? That park shut down after 3 months in operation, as the developers declared bankruptcy.
This "boondoggle" was never a good idea. There are those that believe the mayor of Eloy had the same grandiose ideas that our mayor had in wanting a $160 million "boondoggle" here, known as Naranja Park.
