The City of Great Bend had to delay the opening of the Wetlands water park for a least one day due to pump failures. The city parks staff made a special trip to Kansas City Thursday to pick up replacement pumps and have been working continuously to get them up and running, Public Lands Director Terry Hoff said.
“Unfortunately we have to delay the opening by a day or so,” Hoff said. “Our main priority is to ensure the safety and welfare of all visitors that come to the Wetlands.” Park staff worked at the pool Saturday and Hoff said staff and officials are eager to get the pool open and are working to fix the problem as soon as possible, perhaps by Sunday.
