Water and Ice

No, not a new store; a potential for some new recreation opportunities. This article in the AZ Republic explains:

Once known as the Hay Capital of the World, fast-growing Gilbert soon may become a home to pucks and waterslides.Two companies have submitted plans to jointly build and manage an 11-acre recreation complex that includes a Hawaiian-theme water park and an indoor ice skating rink at Crossroads District Park. Town staff will ask the Town Council tonight for permission to start development negotiations with the firms - Peoria-based Hawaiian Falls Waterparks and Polar Ice Entertainment Inc., which has an office in Tempe.
The companies' plans call for an 81,000-square-foot ice arena on 2.65 acres and an 8-acre water park on the undeveloped parkland at Ray and Greenfield roads. If approved, the water park would open around Memorial Day 2006. Polar Ice officials said they want to open the rink by August 2006.
"We're going to build this facility with families in mind," Hawaiian Falls development director Greg Yost said. "It's going to be something younger kids, older kids and everybody can enjoy."The water park would have a six-story water slide, wave pool and a "Rain Fortress" featuring about 150 water toys for children.Much of the ice rink's business would come from youth hockey leagues, figure-skating programs and recreational customers, said Brad Berman, president of Polar Ice, which has rinks in Chandler, Peoria, Tucson and three other states. It also could become practice ice for the NHL's Phoenix Coyotes under an agreement the company has with the league.

Now that would be cool, in more ways than one.
