Rapids Water Park Reopens After Bomb Threat Evacuation

Officers already on site secured a safe evacuation as investigators probe the threatening call

Overview

  • A threatening phone call to a park administrative employee reported that there was a bomb on the property and warned that people would die, prompting staff to alert police.
  • Three Riviera Beach officers who were already at the park helped staff carry out an orderly evacuation while additional police and fire‑rescue units searched and secured the grounds.
  • No injuries were reported and the park temporarily closed for searches before reopening after authorities determined it was safe for visitors to return.
  • Riviera Beach Police and Riviera Beach Fire Rescue say the investigation is active and they have not publicly identified any suspects or confirmed any explosive devices.
  • Standard local protocol for bomb threats calls for immediate evacuation, scene security, and a coordinated search, and officials said they will release more information as it becomes available.
