Due to the compliance issues, Janesville pools will not open until a bit later than usual.
Rockport Pool will open the week of June 22. Admission will be $2 for adults and $1.50 for youth and seniors. Children under 3 years old get in free.
Palmer Park Wading Pool is expected to open the week of June 15. Admission is free.
Riverside Wading Pool opening date continues to be unknown due to the high water levels, which when recede, will be followed by construction to repair the pool.
Lions Beach will be open on June 6 and close August 30. Admission is free.
I wish Lion's Beach could be cleaned up for swimming. The goose droppings and green slime make for a bad swimming experience. Being as it is a free place to obtain some exercise and heat relief, it could be made a better experience. I know there is not money for it, but the city finds ways of funding other special interest outdoor and sporting activities. Not everyone can afford to pay to swim at the pool. And I am too old for the kiddy pools.
Anonymous,
You make an excellent point. I am aware of several ideas floating around to make the Lion's Beach a more attractive and welcoming destination, which would be great for all. This issue is definitely on my radar and I thank you for writing about it.
