In Eden Prairie, the community center is hitting the pause button on some aquatic fun. Updates on the center's website reveal the Dive Pool will be off-limits from July 28 through August 10, due to a string of scheduled maintenance checks and fixes. For those planning a splash on July 29, note that the Rec Pool is also taking a temporary dive into inaccessibility, shutting down from around noon to 6 p.m. said the community center in a post on their website.
Why the downtime during these peak summer weeks? Inspections and cleanings of pool deck surfaces, pumps, supply lines, and safety gear, as well as needed repairs, are on the to-do list—with the hope of preventing future disruptions. While these pools are getting their facelift, the Lap Pool remains untouched by closures and will keep its schedule, so lap swimmers, you're in luck.
Patrons looking for a cool dip or a dive will have to hold off for just a bit longer. The community center asks for your "patience and flexibility," promising all things aquatic will soon be back in tip-top form. To keep community members in the loop, the City of Eden Prairie announcement also included, "Visit edenprairie.org/Aquatics for up-to-date schedules before visiting."
