GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – A lazy river, mini-golf course, jumping pillow, splashpad, pedal track, and other improvements could be coming to Green Bay’s Joannes Aquatic Center, under a $9.5 million plan a city council committee will review this week.

Surf rider, $2.2 million
Splashpad, $1.3 million
Lazy river, $1 million
Mini golf course $450,000
Restroom building, $350,000
Water play features, $250,000

Hammock garden, $50,000
Pedal track (with 10 carts), $35,000

No funding method is detailed.
The Parks Committee meets at 5 p.m. Wednesday in room 207 of City Hall, 100 N. Jefferson Street.
