Currently, the City operates two indoor pools, two water parks and four outdoor pools. Crews worked around the clock to get the necessary repairs and improvements made to our pools and community centers. The main leak in the Brush Creek Community Center’s pool is now repaired. As well as the Gorman pool is getting a leak repaired. The Tony Aguirre Community center has a new filter and chemical system. We are excited to announce the Southeast Community Center is getting a brand-new pool within the next year.
Southeast Community Center will be the hub where our lifeguards will get training and become certified ahead of our pool season each year. Midwest Pool Management is working hard to make sure our pools have enough lifeguards to keep swimmers safe this summer. For details about lifeguard job opportunities click here.
