The Jaycee Park wading pool reopened for the Jaycee Park Neighborhood Block Party, and will now be open every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm through August 23, 2021. The Jaycee Park wading pool had been closed due to ongoing maintenance issues and staffing concerns. The Parks and Recreation Director says that while these concerns still exist, the wading pool will operate on a limited schedule until the ultimate future of aquatic features in the park is determined by the City Council. Rodney Sadler says that based on the overwhelming response from residents, he made the decision to reopen the wading pool to continue to provide a fun and free aquatic option for the neighborhood. Sadler added that the parks and recreation department appreciates the community’s input and support.
