Dorchester's new splash pad at the city park just keeps getting better.
Late last week, new features were installed to complete what is known as "phase one" of the project.
The features include as spraying rainbow of rings, as well as a giant frog.
The splash pad has even received regionwide news media coverage. News Channel Nebraska published a story Wednesday on Dorchester's new water park.
The water park as been opperational since late June, drawing kids on a daily, if not hourly, basis.
As reported earlier by the Times, Jack Potter has generously donated sod so there isn't a muddy mess.
The Dorchester Community Foundation Fund, which has been responsible for raising the money necessary to make the project a reality, earlier this year was promised a matching grant to help complete so-called "phase two" of the splash pad project at the Dorchester City Park.
The second phase will include even larger, more interactive features, according to one insider.
If you would like to contribute to this effort to ensure the Foundation gets a reported $50,000 match grant, checks made payable to the Dorchester Foundation Community Fund can be mailed to: Dorchester Community Foundation Fund, c/o Peg Bergmeyer, 101 Washington Ave., Dorchester, NE 68343.
