Many Manhattan residents took advantage of the amazing weather this weekend by hitting the water. All three pools opened this Memorial weekend to a huge crowd.
Each pool has different aquatic features so there is sure to be something for everyone. City Park features a number of slides, diving boards, and a traditional 50 meter pool as well as a lazy river. Northview has many of the same features as City Park, just on a smaller scale. It has a play structure for children and a new diving board. Cico Park is the perfect aquatic site for any family with small children. The park features shallow pools and numerous kiddie slides.
Director of Parks and Recreation, Curt Loupe, mentions there were a few bugs in the credit card system this weekend. Loupe believes these issues were due to problems with the internet, but they are currently working on the issue and hope to have everything running smoothly soon.
For families who frequently visit the pools during the summer, you can purchase a pass card. The pass card attaches to your key chain for easy access and is as simple as a quick swipe when entering the pool. If you lose your card, your old card is immediately deactivated and a new card will be issued to you.
