Community Pool Open Until Sept. 1

Don't be fooled by recent rain and cool temperatures. The summer isn't over yet. 

In anticipation of hot temperatures next week, the city has decided to keep the community pool, located at the Boys and Girls Club at 123 Jefferson St., open until Sept. 1. 

Earlier this summer the pool became a political issue when Fourth Ward Council Candidate Tim Occhipinti said the pool should be open longer. 

According to City Spokesman Juan Melli, the pool was supposed to close on Friday, Aug. 27, but will now be open until Sept. 1. The pool will also be open this Saturday. 

The pool is open to children from 5 through 12 between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. daily.
