Lincoln Parks and Recreation says due to staffing shortages some public pool hours and services will change. Beginning Monday, May 30, all nine City pools will be open from 1 to 6 p.m., Monday through Sunday.
“Outdoor public pools are an important part of summer life in Lincoln. Decisions to adjust operations and programming was not made easily. Our staff are committed to keeping the public pools available all summer long, but the schedule of programming is subject to change depending on staffing,” says Lynn Johnson, Parks and Recreation Director.
The six neighborhood pools have no daily schedule changes. Concessions stands will not be open at Highlands, Star City Shores, University Place or Woods pools. Beverage vending machines will be available at those locations.
Johnson said minor scheduling adjustments were necessary to keep all pools open. Star City Shores was originally scheduled to be open from 12:30 to 7 p.m. Monday through Sunday. The Highland and University Aquatic Centers were originally scheduled to be open from 1 to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 1 to 6 p.m. on weekends. The pool season was originally scheduled to begin May 28.
