The City Parks, Recreation, and Civic Facilities Department announced that the Aquatic Park will be closed Tuesday.

According to a press release, due to a situation where loose feces was discovered in the pool, the Aquatic Park is closed until the pool water, filters, and equipment can be properly sanitized and the chemicals and ph levels are at safe levels for people to enter the water. The incident occurred on Monday and the pool was cleared and immediately closed.

During the time that the pool is closed, the Aquatic Park employees follow the CDC requirements to ensure that the pool is safe for patrons to enjoy. Pool employees will be hyper-chlorinating the pool and using other chemicals to ensure if there is any bacteria in the water it is killed, cleaning the filtering system and all the pool equipment, and then bringing the chlorine and ph levels to safe levels.

It is anticipated that the Aquatic Park will open at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, July 25.

While the Aquatic Park is closed, Krug Pool will be open from noon to 6 p.m. on Tuesday. Entrance is $3 for 8 and under and $4 for all others.
