Indy Parks plans to open 5 pools June 13
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Indy Parks will be opening five of their pools this summer.
The organization made the announcement Friday morning.
On June 13, the pools at Bethel Park, Frederick Douglass Park, Perry Park, Riverside Park and Willard Park will be open six days a week at 50% of their capacity.
“Summer is not canceled at Indy Parks and neither is our commitment to the city we all love and to the people we serve,” said Linda Broadfoot, Indy Parks director. “As a team, we have a responsibility to explore every possibility for residents and their families to stay healthy and safe, to have access to free meals, and to enjoy recreational activities in our parks.”
The department says the pools will adhere to the following:
- Pools will be open on Tuesday-Sunday from 10 a.m.-12 p.m., 1:30-3:30 p.m., and 5-7 p.m.
- All pools must be closed periodically for 1.5-2 hours for routine cleanings during open hours.
- Each pool will have approximately 12 staff members working daily, and staff will wear face coverings when they are not in the water.
- Pool spray features and park spraygrounds will not be available until further notice.
