After a little research it was discovered that these
types of facilities were being developed all over the
nation and were city owned and operated. Municipal
waterparks are the fastest growing leg of the water park
industry, both indoor and outdoor. And they are for the
most part, successful and very much recommended as an
addition to a Municipal Parks System. In our research,
we have found that the parks which are not breaking even
are doing so purposefully; keeping admission prices
below expenses to provide quality of life to the
community. These facilities are usually “resident only”.
We understand that Kerrville has no additional funds for
this purpose. We believe that this will be a successful
and much needed addition to Kerrville. Kerrville
Playscape, Inc., would like to undertake the development
and fund raising efforts so that this can happen in
Kerrville much sooner that waiting for it to be budgeted
by the City.
While we can give no guarantee that we can raise these
funds, we believe that this is such an incredible
project that we are determined to work for the last
penny (including a reserve expense fund) to make this
project possible. Our feasibility study indicates
that this would be a very successful amenity
to the Kerrville area. |
