[ARCHIVED] Splash Pad reopens following more repairs

Two, watermain leaks caused the closure

KILLEEN, Texas (Aug. 2, 2022) – The City of Killeen’s Recreation Service’s Department has reopened the Junior Service League (JSL) Spray Pad at Long Branch Park again, following more necessary repairs.

On Aug. 1, staff identified two, large mainline water leaks. Recreation Services worked with the Water Department to repair the lines.

Repairs are now complete, and staff has balanced the chemicals for the JSL Spray Pad to open at no cost to residents.

The city of Killeen appreciates our citizens who have been patient and understanding with these unprecedented matters that were out of our control.

As a reminder, on Aug. 1, the City of Killeen began offering access to the Family Aquatic Center at a discounted rate for the remainder of the 2022 pool season.

That means that fees will be $3 for adults and $2 for seniors and children. The Family Aquatic Center and Spray Pad will be open through Labor Day weekend.

Hours of operation for the Aquatic Center are:

  • Tuesdays - Fridays: 11a.m. - 5p.m.
  • Saturdays: 10a.m. - 6:30p.m.
  • Sundays: 1p.m. - 6:30p.m.

Hours of operation for the Spray Pad are:

Daily from 8:30a.m. - 8p.m.
