A coalition of four Kerrville churches has stepped in to extend $1 water park access at the Salvation Army Kerrville Kroc Center to every Kerr County resident this summer, expanding a program that began as a partnership between the city and the Kroc Center.

The $1 admission runs through Aug. 15, from 1 to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 1 to 6 p.m. Saturday.

The discounted access first launched May 23 for Kerrville residents, then grew county-wide after four congregations agreed to cover the operational costs and additional lifeguard wages needed to serve the larger crowd for the full season.
