St. George plans 2.5-acre expansion at Thunder Junction
The all-abilities park's next phase adds Ice Age-themed attractions and railroad track, with completion targeted for summer 2027, according to KSL.
St. George's Thunder Junction All Abilities Park is preparing for a 2.5-acre expansion with Ice Age-themed attractions and additional railroad track, KSL reported. The city scheduled a Phase II groundbreaking during the park's 10th-anniversary celebration on Oct. 20. [1][2]
Officials aim to complete the expansion in summer 2027, with intermittent train interruptions during construction, according to KSL. Funding includes donations and proceeds from the $29 million recreation bond approved by city voters in 2023. That bond supports projects across St. George; $29 million is not the stated cost of this park expansion. [1]
The city's Phase II page confirms the expansion and lists sponsorship opportunities. [3]
