Preparation for the construction of a water park in Vitebsk is ongoing, although the actual work has not yet begun — the project is currently in the development and approval stage, writes Office Life.
The water park is planned to be built on the site of two former buildings of the "Vityaz" plant, which have been purchased by investors. The total area of the future complex will be about 14 thousand square meters. Approximately 3.5 thousand of these will be allocated for the water zone.
The project includes four water slides, 16 types of baths, a fitness center, a hotel, a coworking space, and a large parking lot for more than 300 cars. The complex will be able to accommodate about 1300 people simultaneously.
The project is being handled by "FS Group". Initially, investors studied European experience and collaborated with European equipment manufacturers. However, company representatives recently visited China and held negotiations with Chinese partners. Now, it is the Chinese side that is finalizing the technological solutions for the water park to fit their equipment.
According to representatives of the city executive committee, the investors already have the necessary permits and a land plot. They are currently working on formalizing additional territory and preparing documents for engineering networks.
Authorities expect the project to pass state expertise in 2026, after which the main construction phase will begin.
The project is planned to be financed through a bank credit line. Previously, the company also sought additional investors, including among Chinese businesses.
Vitebsk officials first spoke about the intention to build a water park in Vitebsk in autumn 2024, and in January 2025, the chairman of the Vitebsk City Executive Committee, Alexey Geroev, announced the final decision and the presence of an investor.
If the plans come to fruition, Vitebsk will become the third regional center, after Minsk and Grodno, to have a water park.
In addition, such facilities currently exist in Belarus also in Zhlobin, Molodechno, Kobrin, Pruzhany, and the agro-town of Azyory near Grodno.
