Centennial Park in Southern Idaho Will Soon Be Closing Indefinitely

Trigger Warning Update: The word 'indefinitely' is used multiple times in this story and has become the Sydney Sweeney of verbiage. Feel free to substitute whatever word you feel comfortable with in place of 'indefinitely'.

As long as you know that Centennial Park will be closing soon and there is no timeline, specified period of time, or estimated time for when it will reopen. That's the important part.

As the fun-in-the-sun season is wrapping up in Idaho, one of the most popular and important waterparks in Southern Idaho will be closing.

Sure, Roaring Springs Waterpark will be closing soon, but this is a different waterpark, and it will be closed indefinitely for repairs starting in just a few days.

A Popular Twin Falls Park Will Be Closing Indefinitely Next Week

The Twin Falls County Commissioners made the announcement, shared by the Twin Falls County Sheriff’s Office on social media, that a paving project would begin on September 2nd, 2025, in Centennial Park.

Access to the park will be closed for a few days, reopened for a limited time with limited access over the second weekend of September, and then closed indefinitely.

The initial closure for the paving project will be from September 2nd through September 10th. Park access will reopen from September 11th through September 14th. There will be limited access and parking during that time, as much of the space will be taken by heavy machinery and construction equipment.

The paving project will improve boat access and parking at Centennial Park.

The park will then be closed from September 15th until further notice.

We have to give props and appreciation to Twin Falls County for waiting until the end of the season to start this project rather than closing it during the summer months. We’ll have to wait and see how long the indefinite closure lasts and hope it’s over before boating season next year.

FYI - we get that some people don't like that we use the word 'indefinitely' to reference something that will eventually open but has no timeline. They think we should use a softer, better, or more common word. That's OK, we don't always use the 'right word' with our spouses either.

As long as you read the story to get the essential information, we'll argue the semantics of a word with you, indefinitely.
