We are requesting an area of
100mx100m to allow for water level Variances The park boundaries are set at 70mx70m Lets Lead As A Community In Shuswap there are currently 0 locations featuring open water Wibit Waterparks. The Okanagon water parks have been in operation for more than 1 yr and have a huge reputation as being the most affordable value for money and fun tourism experience in the area. Lets make the Shuswap home of fun on the water!! Bounce The Shu is asking for an Exclusive long term lease agreement to use the Public beach for a ticket booth location, and water space. We will also be making Sicamous are head quarters for all Bounce The Shu operations. We look to be a long time standing business member and permanent resident within the community of Sicamous. Alternative locations We have had discussions with CSRD on other suitable locations in Blind Bay & Sunny Brae. We feel as an asset to the community and as a new tourist attraction as well as being our Head Office Location a central location in Sicamous Public Beach is where we want our first and MAIN location. Bounce The Shu Goal is to make the Shuswap one of the funniest lakes to come vacation too! In the future we may put smaller parks in the other locations stated above as well as have a portable park that can be transported to different areas of the lake but Sicamous area will remain Canadas largest and greatest floating water park!!
