The new Colony Park Pool envisioned in the city’s plans for aquatics and Colony Park development is here, and the city’s Parks and Recreation Department is ready to celebrate with the public. On Saturday, May 24, everyone is invited to a ribbon cutting ceremony to mark its opening. The pool will be open year-round with no entrance fee. “Pool amenities include a lap lane pool, zero-entry activity pool (toddler pool), water slide, spray features, diving board, shade structures, bathhouses and family restrooms, training/party room, and aquatic office space. Programs that will be provided include swimming classes for a variety of ages and skill levels and lap swim times,” according to a city press release about the pool. The ribbon cutting will take place at 10 a.m. at 7400 Loyola Lane. More information about the project can be found here.
