Opening of the neighborhood pools and splash pads has been delayed to June 13 to allow staff more time to prepare for the summer season.

The neighborhood pools and splash pads were initially scheduled to open June 6 with the Electric City Water Park.

The water park is open daily from noon to 6 p.m., weather dependent.

City pools open June 6, Flow Rider remains down this summer

The splash pad in Lions Park at the city’s aquatic center opened May 24 and is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and is free to the public.

The water slides at Mitchell Pool in the water park are temporarily down.

Jessica Compton, deputy Park and Recreation director, told The Electric that staff discovered some repairs were needed as they prepared to open the water park.

She said they’re waiting on a part to repair the slides, which will then reopen for use, but she didn’t have an estimated arrival of the part.

The Flow Rider and Lazy River remain closed this summer due to mechanical and structural issues, according to Park and Rec.

Because of those issues, the facilities don’t meet city safety codes.

City staff are comparing costs of replacing the existing equipment versus replacing the structure entirely.

Mitchell Pool will remain open for the summer.

Fees will not change for the water park and are as follows:

• Youth, 3-17: $7
• Adults, 18+: $10
• Monthly lap swim: $40
• Youth 10-visit pass: $60
• Adult 10-visti pass: $85

Those fees were set by commission resolution in 2024, but have shifted over the last decade.

A 2014 commission resolution set entry fees for Mitchell Pool and slides at $3 for youth and $5 for adults and the Flow Rider package at $10 for youth and $12 for adults.

Those fees remained in place through 2022, when a new fee structure was implemented, setting entry fees to the whole park at $5 for youth and $8 for adults.

There doesn’t appear to be a commission resolution associated with that fee change in publicly available city records.

That rate shifted to $6 for youth and $9 for adults in 2023.
