With Memorial Day just a few weeks off, area residents are looking forward to spending some leisure time at their favorite community swimming pools.
In Fayette County, the Flatwoods Community Pool in Franklin Township will open Memorial Day weekend, operating from noon to 8 p.m. on weekends and 4 to 8 p.m. weekdays until schools adjourn classes for the summer. They will be following any mask mandates or CDC recommendations from the state.
Township Supervisor Tim Kelley said that even though the pool didnât open until July 1 last year, the weather allowed them to have a good season.
âLast year we had a good year, even though we were only open two months,â he said. âHopefully weâll have a successful year, but it all depends on the weather.â
