Crystal Lagoons Brings its Sustainable Technology to Alabama

Our global expansion continues as we transform the amenities and entertainment industries with our patented, eco-friendly technology.

The amenities and entertainment industry faces constant challenges: rising costs, environmental concerns, and the need for attractions that ensure long-term profitability. At Crystal Lagoons, we provide the solution. Our technology delivers sustainable, low-cost, and high-value amenities that turn communities into world-class destinations.

Renowned for creating the world’s top turquoise lagoons, we are now bringing our technology to Alabama in partnership with an Alabama Developer, under our Public Access Lagoons® business model. This agreement reinforces our leadership in sustainable, profitable, and low-cost amenities that redefine urban and tourism developments.

This new PAL® project will be in Leeds, Alabama, adjacent to the Shops of Grand River, and will serve as a centerpiece for one of the most unique mixed-use entertainment destinations in the southeastern United States.

The Grand River Sports Park: A World-Class Entertainment Destination

The upcoming crystalline lagoon powered by Crystal Lagoons® technology will be the centerpiece of the Grand River Sports Park, a 1,000-acre master-planned destination. Located minutes from downtown Birmingham along the I-20 growth corridor, this project will combine retail, sports, and entertainment in one iconic location.

Highlights include:

  • A turquoise lagoon powered by Crystal Lagoons® technology as its centerpiece: ideal for families to enjoy a beach lifestyle.
  • The Shops of Grand River: Premier outlet shopping just steps from the lagoon.
  • A Signature Sports Park: Situated on 275 acres, hosting soccer, lacrosse, football, baseball, softball, and track events, drawing athletes nationwide.
  • Surrounding attractions: Barber Motorsports Park & Museum, Porsche Track Experience, Bass Pro Shops, and Buc-ee’s.
