Overview
In Grand Island, Nebraska, Island Oasis Water Park welcomes families with thrilling slides, lazy pools, and splash zones that sparkle in the sun.Covering more than six acres, the Grand Island Parks and Recreation Department runs it, and in summer you’ll often find locals and tourists cooling off under its shady trees.The park’s main draw is a massive 350,000-gallon wave pool that sends rolling waves every few minutes, letting swimmers splash and float as if they were on a sunny ocean shore.The 750-foot Lazy River curves through the park, its gentle currents carrying riders past small splash zones and the sound of water lapping softly against the sides-perfect for a slow, easy float at any age.For a rush, tackle the two six‑story speed slides that drop you fast enough to feel the wind sting your cheeks, or take on one of the four towering 150‑foot giants that welcome riders of every skill level.Kids can splash in a shallow water zone, dart through playful fountains, and zip down a bright, cartoonish otter slide-everything built for safe, hands-on fun.The park also offers water basketball, a lily pad walk, a log walk, sand volleyball courts, and a sand play area, giving visitors plenty of ways to play-whether it’s splashing in the pool or feeling warm sand between their toes.The park offers shaded benches, picnic tables, and clean restrooms, so visitors can relax in comfort, even on a hot summer afternoon.You can grab a hot pretzel, a cold drink, or a quick meal at the concession stand, while trained lifeguards keep watch at every major attraction to ensure everyone stays safe.Keep up with maintenance, and you’ll have clear, safe water and gear that runs smoothly, like a pump humming quietly in the background.Island Oasis Water Park runs on a seasonal schedule, opening its gates in late May and wrapping up around mid-August, when the last warm evenings fade.On weekends, we stay open longer to handle the bigger crowds, like the buzz of people lining up just after dusk.Kids, adults, and seniors can grab a daily ticket, but a season pass lets you come back all summer long-right up to the last warm evening in August.At Visitor Experience Island Oasis Water Park, families can race down twisting slides, then stretch out on sun-warmed loungers, making it the perfect place to spend an entire day.The design welcomes everyone, from curious kids to seasoned pros, creating a space that’s both fun and safe.There’s plenty of parking right on-site, and you can reach it easily off Fonner Park Road-a quick turn past the big oak-making it a handy stop for both locals and visitors.At Island Oasis, summer comes alive with heart-pounding rides, kid-friendly spaces, and a warm, easygoing vibe that leaves visitors smiling long after the day ends.
