DODGE CITY, Kan. (AP) — Dodge City is planning to open a $12.27 million water park next summer and now city officials are asking for help to name it.
The city and Ford County officials say they want the public to choose a name that celebrates the Western heritage of Dodge City.
The park, currently called the Dodge City/Ford County Regional Aquatics Park, is scheduled to open in May 2016. Entries can be submitted through June 29.
The aquatics park will feature a 50-meter lap pool, multiple slides, a wave pool, a lazy river and a zero-depth entry pool.
The Hutchinson News reports the water park is primarily funded by Dodge City and Ford County sales tax revenues.
