Oakwood Plaza, a 906,000 square foot regional center, is a power center located in Hollywood, Florida.
History
Begun as a private venture originally known as 'Atlantis the Water Kingdom', funding ran out before construction ended. The park sat partially completed for several months before Six Flags opened it around 1982 as "Six Flags Atlantis."
In 1989 the park was sold. The new owners revived the original name, 'Atlantis the Water Kingdom,' and successfully reconfigured Atlantis as a smaller, more efficient park. Following damage during Hurricane Andrew in 1992, the park was closed and the assets auctioned off. Construction of the shopping center was announced in 1994.
Today
Today most of the area is now occupied by retail shopping (Oakwood Plaza). A Kmart rests where its wave pool was once located. The functional submarine once present in the Atlantis parking lot could at one point still be seen at Grand Prix Race-O-Rama (now a Boomers!) a few blocks north of the park. Its current location is unknown.
