The Leisure Services Department will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony and open the newly reconstructed Bishop Park pool.  This special occasion is scheduled for Friday, May 23 at 11:00 a.m.

Pool admission will be free all day and the first 100 guests will receive a beach towel and one-day pool pass to be used during the summer at any of the department’s five pools or two splash pads.

The pool is constructed with a zero entry kids zone with spray features. The area can still accommodate lap swim, swim lessons, competitions, as well as the casual swimming.The bathrooms and changing rooms are updated and also made ADA compliant.  Additionally, the pump house for pool equipment was replaced.  New pool furniture includes umbrellas, lounge chairs, shade structures, and bench seating for swim meets. This project is part of a SPLOST 2020 Project 19.
