The Park Stockdale Civic Association Board of Directors voted Monday to keep the pool open on weekday afternoons. This is a change from previous years when the pool traditionally closed weekdays when Wayne Van Horn Elementary School went back in session.

Starting Wednesday, Aug. 14, the pool will be open 4-8 p.m. weekdays. It will be open noon-8 p.m. weekends. The plan hinges on getting lifeguards. The college lifeguards will soon head back and some of the high school lifeguards have afterschool sports. On days there is no lifeguard, a sign will be posted.

Additionally, the season has been extended a week past the traditional Labor Day closing.

A potluck will be held from 4-6:30 Saturday, Sept. 7. (See related story for details.) The pool’s last day of the season will be Sept. 8.
