Outdoor Pool Hours Changing
Hours at Pierre’s new outdoor pool are changing to better serve the community.
Beginning Monday, July 8, the outdoor pool will be open Monday through Friday between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. and 6:45 p.m. and 8:45 p.m. On both Saturdays and Sundays, the pool will be open between 12 p.m. and 8 p.m.
“We took a look at the traffic patterns, when people are showing up to swim and when we have fewer patrons,” said Bryan Tipton, Parks and Recreation Director. “This new schedule better aligns with when people are using the pool.”
Tipton went on to say that no scheduling adjustments are planned for swim lessons, water walking, or water fitness classes.
“Those programming pieces won’t be impacted by the change,” said Tipton. “They’re proving very popular, and that schedule seems to be working well.”
The Pierre outdoor pool opened its doors for the first time on Memorial Day. Since then, an average of 500 people has visited the pool’s heated waters daily. The complex features 19,000 square feet of water surface including a lazy river, two pools, three slides, a high dive and expanded concessions.
