In January of last year, we learned that Splashtown was closing down to make way for a new car dealership. Really? We were just there last summer and it was alive and well. Splashtown in San Antonio will forever be my favorite in SA. By far it was the most economical and the crowds were never overwhelming. Fast Foward one year, and it's incredible how quickly nature has started to take over the park. Take a look at some photos of the abandoned Splashtown in San Antonio. They are kind of eerie. Thanks to the Youtube Channel of Unknown Ventures and more recently, Project Rare,  we look at the park's current status. SEE THE PHOTO GALLERY BELOW.

THE "LAZY RIVER": Who spent a little time just relaxing in the lazy river? Bonus points, if you can gracefully get in or out of a tube.
