Lions Pool Re-Opens August 22nd

Lions Pool re-opens next Monday, August 22nd, after a nearly two-month closure due to a mechanical issue with the pool’s main pump. The pool will open for its regularly scheduled hours of operation as of Monday.

“We have received the pump and motor and will be back to full operation on Monday,” said Parks & Recreation Manager Ken Wilkinson. “We look forward to seeing our community again here at Lions Pool.”

Lions Pool is re-opening almost a month ahead of schedule. When the pump issue arose in late June, it was estimated the pool would re-open sometime in the fall due to difficulty in obtaining the parts needed for repairs.

Lions Pool will re-open the day after the City’s outdoor pool, Franklin Pool, closes for the summer season this Sunday, August 21st.

“We appreciate the public’s patience during the closure of Lions Pool,” said Wilkinson. “We’ll see you soon!”
