The Abandoned Skinners Wet N Wild – Waterpark in Lockport

This is one of those landmarks that pretty much everyone in Winnipeg/Lockport knows about.

Built in the 1980’s, it once stood as Manitoba’s second largest water park.  I remember going to it as a kid.  It closed in the early 2000’s and to this day it stands abandoned.  It was slated to be demolished in 2014, but clearly it has not yet.

I personally will not dare to go past the fence to take more images, but others do.  And I can see how this has become a safety concern for the area.  It is in a well known area and frankly, the fence is not terribly secure.

Top image taken April 26, 2015 and the rest where taken in 2014 on an old medium format film camera.
