Thanks. I think the term "waterparks" now refers specifically to
water-based amusement facilities.
Also, Gantry Plaza State Park had several designers.

The redevelopment of New York's waterfront has created unprecedented
opportunities to build new parks and public spaces. From Brooklyn
Bridge Park to Queens West, from Lower Manhattan to Williamsburg, new public
waterfront open space is being designed or constructed.
Join us for a discussion on what makes a successful waterfront park
and how to create vibrant waterfront spaces.
Panelists include four leading waterfront open space innovators:
* Donna Walcavage, designer of Stuyvesant Cove Park
* Michael Samuelian, Department of City Planning
project manager for the Lower Manhattan East River Plan
* Thomas Balsley, designer of Gantry Plaza State Park
* Jonathan Kirschenfeld, designer of a floating swimming pool
for the East River
The discussion will be moderated by Bonnie Harken, co-chair of the
American Planning Association's New York Metro Chapter Waterfront
Committee.
Co-hosted by the American Planning Association's Metro Chapter
Waterfront Committee and the Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance
