One Last Splash: Killeen, Texas Aquatic Center Closing Soon

It's been a long summer in Killeen, Texas. With the heat bearing down on most of the state, many looked for some type of heat relief during the extreme drought we were and are currently experiencing. So the Family Aquatic Center was a place for many in the city to go to cool off.

But for those who haven't visited the aquatic center, like myself, the time to enjoy the pool and slides will soon be coming to an end.

Killeen Family Aquatic Center Closing Soon

According to a press release from the City of Killeen, both the Aquatic Center and the Junior League Spray Pad will be open for Labor Day weekend, and then will close for the season. The center will be open Saturday 10 AM to 6:30 PM, Sunday 1 PM to 6:30 PM, and Monday 11 AM to 5 PM. While the Junior League Spray Pad will open from 8:30 AM to 8:00 PM daily as well.

Baylor Scott and White, much like Central Texas, has grown throughout the years. It's hard to imagine that a structure that's dominated the Bell County skyline for decades now started out as a tiny frontier cabin. Let's take a trip through time for a quick visual history of Scott & White Temple. (Special thanks to Jeff Swindoll with Baylor Scott & White for his invaluable assistance.)
