UPDATE: In a newspaper article it was announced on April 13th, 2020 that the Hiawatha Water Park will not be opening for the 2020 season due to Covid-19 pandemic.
The city of Mount Vernon, Ohio has mailed out their Hiawatha Water Park and Pool schedule to area residents and I wanted to provide a quick summary. The mailer sent by the City of Mount Vernon has an opening date of June through August and I am sure they will firm up those dates as we get closer to summer and swimming season. This proposed schedule is subject to change due to the CoronaVirus and business closures so be sure to check back regularly.
Feel free to call 740-393-0288 which is the pools seasonal number or you can call 740-393-9521 for waterpark and pool membership information.
The Hiawatha Waterpark and Pool is located at 100 Sychar Road, Mount Vernon, Ohio 43050 (on the corner of Beech Street).
The Hiawatha Water Park and Pools in Mount Vernon, Ohio is a very special place and a proud accomplishment of our community. When I was opening my mail today I opened up a new brochure with the latest schedule and pricing for the Hiawatha Water Park and Pools. The basic schedule highlights opening in June through August with hours ranging from 12 noon to 7:45 p.m. There is a little disclaimer on the closing time which says "Manager will determine pool closure due to inclement weather" which I am sure is for safety purposes due to rain and storm conditions. This year they are once again offering season pass options and I have scanned their brochure and have included the actual 2017 rates and I have featured them at the very bottom of this page for you.
The embedded video below is a quick and fun look at the Hiawatha Water Park and Pools. I am often asked how I was able to keep the video camera from getting wet while taking a wild ride down the water slide. The trick was to enclose the video camera inside a ziplock plastic bag and hold the clear plastic bag tightly over the lens to eliminate a distorted video image.
