Northside Pool Closing August 22

Northside Pool will close for the season Saturday, August 22, 2009 at 5 pm, but all of the City'€™s free splash pads will remain open through most of September.

Splash pad hours are 9 am '€“ 9 pm daily through Labor Day. After Labor Day, splash pad hours will be noon '€“ 8 pm daily. The splash pads will be turned off for the season at 8 pm, September 20.

All splash pads are touch activated. To turn the water on, look for a short pole (approx. 3 ft. tall) with a plastic dome top located within the play area. Place your hands on the dome for a few seconds. The water will appear shortly and run for several minutes. When the water stops, repeat the procedure. The splash pad at Robert E.
