The City of Hartsville has reached two significant milestones with the waterpark expansion project with the naming of the waterpark and hiring a manager of Hartsville’s newest attraction.
Visitors to the City of Hartsville’s latest project will know the attraction as “Neptune Island”. Opening this summer, visitors of all ages will take part in a tropical island adventure in the progressive small-town.
Managing Neptune Island will be Eric Tucker, Water Park Manager, who specializes in maximizing park safety while maintaining exceptional customer service and park cleanliness. Tucker has managed departments such as Aquatics, Park Services, and Security and First Aid in multiple states and countries including Florida, New York, Illinois, and Thailand. Beginning his career as a lifeguard and working his way up to Director of Operations, Tucker brings 17 plus years of waterpark experience to the team.
“Giving a name to the project coupled with bringing Eric onto the team brings further life to our team’s vision of the waterpark, says City Manager, Natalie Zeigler, “We are excited about the continued progress and the bright future that Neptune Island will bring to our city.”
The adventure island waterpark expands on the current splashpad with larger water features including a 1,000-foot lazy river, a zero entry pool, a wave pool, a speed body slide, a pair of tubular water slides and three mat racing slides. Cabana rentals, party huts, and food trucks will also assist in making Neptune Island a celebrated destination for residents and visitors throughout the region.
