Sunday Pool Hours Extended In Brookhaven; Lynwood Opening Delayed

BROOKHAVEN, GA — Brookhaven residents can swim around for a few hours longer on Sundays, city officials announced Wednesday.

Two weeks ago, the city of Brookhaven announced its three pools will open for Memorial Day weekend at limited capacities and Sunday hours of 1-6 p.m. Here are the new pool hours:

• Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays: noon-6 p.m.
• Wednesdays: 10 a.m.-6 p.m.
• Fridays and Saturdays: 10 a.m.-8 p.m.
• Sundays: 11 a.m.-6 p.m.

The pools will still open May 29 and remain open daily through Sept. 6. The pools are located at Murphey Candler Park, 1551 W. Nancy Creek Drive; Briarwood Park, 2235 Briarwood Way.

The pool at Lynwood Park, located at 3360 Osborne Road, was supposed to open May 29 with the rest of the pools; however, due to a "newly discovered maintenance issue," Lynwood's pool will be delayed at least a week, a spokesperson for the city said Wednesday.

Once the opening date is determined, which city leaders anticipate to be next weekend, another announcement will be posted on the city's website.

Season pool passes are available for purchase online here. The fees are $80 per child under age 18, $120 for adults, $60 for those age 55 and older or $250 per family of four. There's a $60 additional charge for families larger than four.

Passes are available for pickup at Briarwood Park pool during pool hours.

Daily admission to the pools is $3 per child (age 2-17); $5 per adult (age 18-54); and $1 for citizens age 55 and older. There's a $2 per person charge with groups of 20 or more, and all payment can be made by cash or credit card at the pool.

Patrons will be allowed to bring in coolers and bags (no larger than 24 inches long by 15 inches wide by 18 inches high). Assorted beverages will be available for purchase.

Staff will continuously sanitize furniture after each use and have towels and sanitizer available for patrons if they wish to do it themselves prior to using pool deck furniture, the release said. Social distancing if interacting with other households is encouraged.
