Message about early splash pad season in Belton


The splash pads will open on Friday, May 23, and remain open for regular hours through Monday, May 26 (Memorial Day).


Beginning Tuesday, May 27, the splash pads will temporarily close to support the replacement of a 48-inch water main by the local district water plant. It is anticipated that the splash pads will reopen by Friday, May 30.


Thank you for your patience. We look forward to a fun filled splash pad season.

Join us for a fun night of Bingo supporting our local Veterans.

May is Mental Health Awareness month and we were approached by Willow Counseling Collective looking for a way to support this amazing cause. Together, we came up with the idea of hosting a bingo night to benefit the Local Temple VA's Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Residential Program.


The ladies at Willow Counseling have put together an amazing event. There will be multiple rounds, with INCREDIBLE prizes donated by other community businesses and leaders. We hope you can come out and help raise lots and lots of money for this great cause and support both Mental Health and our local Veterans.....and did we mention the theme is 90's Country Music....What is there not to love about this?

Our new exhibition, So Ready for Laughter: The Legacy of Bob Hope, is now open!

“Bob Hope elicited laughs across all media: through radio waves, on stage, and on the screen, in both television and film. But none of them mattered more than the humor he injected into American camps across the globe during World War II, as the Allies struggled to save the world for democracy. Come see So Ready for Laughter: The Legacy of Bob Hope, and learn about Hope’s unique contribution to the American war effort.” The exhibition is presented by the National WWII Museum and sponsored by the Bob and Delores Hope Foundation. The exhibit will be on display at the Bell County Museum through June 14, 2025.
