ANGOLA, IN - The Pokagon State Park Toboggan Run will be getting major renovations thanks to funding approved this week.

The Indiana State Budget Committee on Wednesday approved $1.3 million in state funding.

Indiana State Representative Denny Zent (R-Angola) says the funds will be used to replace PVC piping under the toboggan run with copper pipe.

Zent says the update will be one of the largest since the two tracks were rebuilt and the rental facility was constructed in the mid-1980′s.

According to Indiana Department of Natural Resources, the attraction first got its start in 1935 as a wooden toboggan run and draws about 90,000 riders each season.
