ST. CLOUD (WJON News) - The vision to build a new outdoor water park in St. Cloud has taken another big step forward.

St. Cloud Financial Credit Union has announced it is contributing $420,000 to the St. Cloud Area Family YMCA and its campaign to build a new state-of-the-art outdoor water park.

Earlier this month, WJON News told you the Y was at $11 million of their $15 million goal, and they wanted to finish the fundraising campaign by Labor Day so they can break ground yet this fall.
