Williston just made a major splash—literally and figuratively. The long-awaited grand opening of Williston Water World marks a significant milestone for the city, bringing a vibrant, family-friendly destination to life and showcasing what happens when vision, leadership, and community come together.

The team at Proven Realty was proud to play a small part in this moment, helping raise over $41,000 during the Festival of Trees to support this incredible project. It was a personal and meaningful contribution this year, and seeing it come to life has been nothing short of inspiring. Shout out to the entire squad at Williston Community Builders for having the vision to put this together and rallying the entire community! They really live up to their name. And props to all the volunteers and donors for continuing making Williston what it is.

A huge congratulations goes out to Emily and the entire Williston Parks & Recreation team for delivering an extraordinary facility. From the lazy river and slides to the shaded seating and the impressive NinjaCross obstacle course, Water World is already becoming a summer staple. Credit is also due to the community builders and leaders who had the foresight to spark this initiative years ago. Their vision has created more than just a water park—it’s ignited new momentum across the region.

From a real estate and investment perspective, this park represents more than just fun in the sun. It’s a catalyst for long-term growth. Amenities like Water World enhance quality of life and help drive demand for homes, rentals, and businesses. Williston’s appeal as a place to live, raise a family, and build a future just got a major boost. Investors and developers take note of projects like this. They signal that the city is capable of executing major public works, managing smart tax strategies, and supporting infrastructure that draws and retains people. That confidence often leads to new retail, multifamily, mixed-use, and hospitality investments in nearby areas.

In the neighborhoods around Water World, Proven Realty expects to see upward movement in land values, rental rates, and builder interest. Whether it’s smaller-scale residential, short-term rentals, or local commercial space, the market is already shifting.

Our team is working closely with sellers, buyers, and investors who are looking to act quickly and strategically.

Now is the time for property owners, investors, and builders to evaluate how this project might impact their plans. Sellers near the park may have a unique opportunity to capture value. Buyers looking to build or invest should act early, while momentum is on their side. And residents across Williston can take pride in a development that will bring energy and excitement for years to come.

Water World isn’t just a win for summer—it’s a win for the future of Williston. The Proven Realty team is proud to be part of this community and here to support anyone looking to take the next step.
