Grand Island, Nebraska

LOOKING FOR SUMMER FUN? Island Oasis is the COOL place to be this summer. The only water park of its kind between Lincoln and Denver.

Grab you sunglasses; throw on your swimsuit and discover a day of summer fun at Island Oasis Water Park.

Racing down one of four giant waterslides and attempting to conquer the surf in their 350 thousand-gallon wave pool is only the beginning of summer fun at the Water Park.

You will encounter sprays, bubbles, fountains, and showers as you float down the new 750-foot lazy river. This endless river ride has zero depth access and winding curves just waiting for your exploration.

Kids will love the zero depth area that includes spraying fountains and a wacky wet otter slide. Plus?.they can build castles in the sand, stroll across the lily pads, or test their skills on the log walk.

Enjoy a match of sand volleyball, take a dip to cool off, then refuel at their full concession and patio area. Qualified lifeguards are always on duty.

The excitement is mounting as the six-acre complex opens May 26th through the summer. Easy access to this six-acre complex located northwest of Fonner Park, go two blocks east of Locust Street on Fonner Park Road.
