“Implementation of the investment project for construction of the LetoLeto water park started in 2015 with the support of Sberbank of Russia. Before the start of construction, a dam was constructed at the Tura river bank, 1 kilometer 200 meters in length; it protects the territory from floods. More than 150 contractor companies were involved in the construction; three quarters of them are the Tyumen ones. About six thousand people were employed at the construction site. Total investment volume was 3.5 billion Rubles for the first phase of the project. About 400 jobs for Tyumen residents are already created in the water park. Thanks to the credit line opened by Sberbank, we are planning to additionally invest over 1 billion Rubles to the second phase of construction”, said Vladimir Shevchik, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Sibintel-holding Company.
According to him, the total length of the slides in the LetoLeto water park is about 1.5 thousand meters with the height of the most extreme reaching 21 meters.

Vladimir Shevchik emphasized that both the hotel and the water park are completely adapted for people with disabilities.
Sergey Korepanov, Chairman of the Tyumen regional Duma, is confident that the opening of the water park shall make the Tyumen residents' life even more comfortable. “Even before, Tyumen was one of the leaders in the quality of life among Russian cities. I have no doubt that the water park will become a tourist brand and the hallmark of the regional capital”, said the speaker of the regional legislative assembly.
