Pawnee Plunge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pawnee Plunge is an outdoor water park located in Columbus, Nebraska. It first opened in late May 2006. It features 4 main waterslides that include a tube slide, a speed spide and a unique splashbowl slide that park goers refer to as the "toilet bowl". The park also has a "lazy river".
The park is open from 10 am to 10 pm everyday during the summer, and from 4 pm during the school year. The admission is 5 dollars for adults over 17 and kids are 3 dollars. On Friday nights after 7pm they have a dollar night where admission is only one dollar. During its first week of opening, the park attracted over 13,000 visitors.
The park is funded and run by the City of Columbus by a .5 cent sales tax. Though there has been some complaints about not having a typical swimming pool, there are plans for a phase two to expand the park.
The last week of July 2006 the waterpark underwent some vandalism. Some believe it was the local Latino gang, but there is no proof of this at this time. They destroyed many tubes for the tube slide and lazy river.
