After years of repairs, Givens Pool is officially opening for this swim season. The pool will reopen on May 30 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony to take place at 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 7. Givens Pool, which has been operating for more than 50 years, was identified as one in need of repairs in the 2018 Aquatic Plan and closed quickly after in 2019 due to leaks in the pool shell. This summer the pool will reopen with a “lap lane pool, zero-entry activity pool (toddler pool), spray ground features, diving board, bathhouses, family restroom, training/party room, picnic pads with shade structures, and aquatic office space,” according to a press release from the city. More information about the renovation can be found here.
