Admission splashdown

Aquatic Center's rates, hours to improve under new contract

By Nick Tabor, New Era Staff Writer

Tie Breaker Family Aquatic Center’s admission prices will drop next year, and the center will stay open later on weeknights, according to a contract city council approved Thursday evening.

Though attendance rates fell in 2008 and again in 2009, Gary McIntyre, Hopkinsville’s superintendent of parks and recreation, said officials lowered prices and extended hours as a service to the public — not just to stimulate business.
