Parks
Twin Rivers Water Park
18th and 4th Avenue
Twin Rivers Water Park, located west of Memorial Park, is hours of summer fun for the whole family! It is open from late May to August. Hours of operation are 12 noon - 5:00 pm and 6:00 - 8:00 pm seven days a week throughout the summer.
The water park facility contains a modern pool area and other family-friendly amenities. The large zero depth to 3 feet swimming area is ideal for young children as well as adults wanting to just “get their feet wet.” It contains several water fountains, umbrellas, and water toys. A moderate depth swimming area of 4 to 6 feet deep is great for accomplished swimmers. The pool also contains a 12-foot deep diving area with diving board.
A favorite with children and adults alike is the spiral water slide that empties into a 3-foot deep pool. The diving area contains a water speed slide which propels the adventurous ones towards the bottom of the 12-foot deep area. Swimming lessons are offered throughout the summer. Reservations for private parties are made through the Plattsmouth Community Center (402-296-5800, ext. 203). Other amenities include:
- concession stand and eating area
- covered picnic area
- sand volleyball court
