The Lagoon is open at 10AM to sunset, 7 days a week with the exception of being closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas. The best days to visit the Lagoon if you are looking for better parking, smaller crowds and shorter lines/wait times for food, drinks, slide and recreational rentals is definitely Monday through Friday. Every weekend we are usually at or near capacity so be sure to buy tickets in advance to avoid a sellout. Please note that while the Lagoon is open year-round to residents, we reserve the right to be closed to non-residents so please check the website in advance.

Our Metro Lagoons by Crystal Lagoons are primarily located in West Central Florida. EPPERSON (now open) and MIRADA (coming soon – homes selling now with lagoon completion expected in late 2021) are in Wesley Chapel. SOUTHSHORE BAY (coming soon – homes selling now with lagoon completion expected summer 2021) is Hillsborough County’s only Lagoon Community located in Wimauma.
BRIGHTWATER (coming soon – homes selling now with lagoon completion expected in late 2021) is located in North Ft. Myers. Additionally, Metro Development Group is planning 5-7 additional yet-to-be-named lagoon communities with locations to be announced soon. Be sure to register for updates!

Really big! These multi-acre Lagoons are more than 100 times the size of a normal pool and on average larger than 10 football fields. Specific community Lagoons as follows: Southshore Bay and Brightwater will each be 5 acres, Epperson is over 7 acres and Mirada will be nearly 15 acres in size. All sizes are approximations and are based on current plans.

We estimate townhouse and single-family home prices will start from the $200s to over $700s.

There are numerous Crystal Lagoons around the world in places like Chile, Panama, Paraguay, Mexico, Peru, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bolivia, Argentina, Colombia, Dubai, etc. Metro Development Group is proud to bring the first Crystal Lagoons® amenity to the United States.

Water sports that are man-powered without motors like kayaks, peddle boats, paddle boards, slides, etc. Each of the communities will have amenity offerings tailor-made to the scope of these Lagoons.

Great news! The Lagoons’ technology is sustainable and safe for the environment, allowing the use of limited water and energy resources. Crystal Lagoons® amenities use 100 times less chemical products and 50 times less energy than traditional swimming pools, consumes only 2% of the energy needed by conventional filtration systems, fully complies with the most stringent water quality standards and consume 30 times less water than a typical 18-hole golf course. Plus, Crystal Lagoons® amenities capture direct rainwater so that required make-up in some locations can be zero and it should be noted that the lagoons can be filled with almost any type of water including brackish water and salt water, using potable water is not a requirement. Crystal Lagoons® technology has received several ‘Green Fast Track’ patents from the US patent office due to the environmental sustainability characteristics of this technology.
