Transvaal ParkTransvaal Park is a popular water park in Yasenevo, a suburb south of Moscow, Russia. With several large, heated pools, including a wave pool and twisting "river" for tubing, it became one of the most popular attractions in the Moscow area and a symbol of the country's bloom of private enterprise. It is based on an African theme, and its name comes from the South African province of Transvaal. It also includes a sauna. On February 14, 2004, however, it was the scene of a horrible accident in which the glass roof collapsed, killing at least 20 people and injuring many with cuts from the glass shards. The architect Nodar Kancheli who had designed the structure claimed that terrorists likely attacked the attraction, but the cause turned out to be a faulty design. The park was reopened in May 2004.
