2021 Sidney Waterpark rates adopted
SIDNEY The 2021 Sidney Waterpark rates were established during the Sidney City Council Monday evening teleconference meeting.
City Council adopted the resolution Sidney Parks and Recreation Director Duane Gaier presented on the waterpark fees. The Sidney Waterpark did not open in 2020, but council approved some rate increases before the COVID-19 pandemic prevented the city pool from opening. SwimSafe Management will run pool operations this year, and some rates were adjusted due to the new contract with the company.
For 2021, the daily admission for preschool children is set at $4.50, up from $4 in 2019, and for adults, seniors and youth it will remain at $4.50. The individual-only season pass will cost $35, up from $34 in 2019. Replacement photo season passes will remain at $15. Training rentals will increase to $80 per hour, versus $15 per hour per guard as in the past. The two-hour pool rental will increase to $360, up from $300.
