Fort Riley will celebrate a new water park with a ribbon cutting ceremony this Friday, June 30th.

The new facility, Custer Hill Aquatic Park, includes a pool with zero-depth entry, a lazy river, waterslides and a climbing wall-replaces a swimming pool built in the 1960s.

Construction of the $3.5 million project was overseen by Fort Riley’s Directorate of Public Works and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

To celebrate the grand opening, admission to the new facility is free all day Friday, June 30.
