There will also be an expansion of the multi-acre Reunion Resort Water Park, with the addition of a wave pool, new water slide, putt-putt golf and a larger, covered food and beverage offering. Kingwood will enact growth initiatives for Reunion’s Club membership as well, including expanded benefits to add exclusivity and value.
