Road Outside Raging Waves Waterpark Receiving New Name

Does the road Waterpark Way in Yorkville ring any bells?

It soon will once a section of Rosenwinkel Street adjacent to Raging Waves Waterpark is renamed.

City administrator Bart Olson said the waterpark approached the city about the street name change after the success of Boombah Boulevard.

“The Mayor seemed to think it was a good idea,” said Olson at the Economic Development Committee meeting last week.

In staff documents Olson said the renaming would have no adverse impacts on any surrounding businesses or residents.

“We are keeping the section of Rosenwinkel Drive within the Bristol Bay subdivision as is,” said Olson.  Raging Waves itself is the only established business along the renamed section of roadway, although their mailing address is based on their Route 47 frontage. “[The name change is] just the road that goes into the waterpark.”

Olson said the name change will be sent out to Kencom and the post office and they will transition to Waterpark Way in the near future.
