KILLEEN, Texas (June 20, 2023) – The City of Killeen will open the Long Branch Park pool to the community on Saturday, June 24.

The spray pad closed today through Thursday, June 22 for renovations, including a concrete slab overlay, connecting sidewalks, accessibility ramps, and various other upgrades to the spray pad and pavilion area. We appreciate the community’s patience as we make these necessary improvements. It will reopen on Friday, June 23 and is free for all.

The Family Aquatic Center is a ten thousand square foot multi-use water park, with three water slides, a diving board, rock wall, splash pad, picnic tables, shade structures and more.
