Arnolds Park, IA (Northwestiowanow.com) — Parking near Arnolds Park Amusement Park has been at a premium since the Park had to sell a portion of its parking lot in an effort to keep the gates open around the turn of the century.

City Manager Linda Nase says tourists will see some new on-street parking on West Broadway Avenue this summer, both for passenger vehicles, and the golf cars which have exploded in popularity.

Nase tells Northwestiowanow.com some utilities that were on the Green Space have been moved, allowing more room for parking.

Several years ago, the city announced that a new parking lot would be located on the Okoboji Bible Conference grounds behind the popular Captain’s Getaway entertainment venue, but Nase says that project has fallen by the wayside.
