LOVES PARK All three Rockford Park District pools will reopen this year including Sand Park Pool, which has been closed the past three summers.
COVID-19 pandemic restrictions forced the park district to keep all three of its outdoor swimming pools closed last year, but loosening mitigations will allow all three pools to be open to the public once again.
Sand Park will reopen June 12, and the other two, Alpine and Harkins, are scheduled to open June 19.
“We are thrilled to be able to welcome youth, teens and families once again to area pools to spend quality time together or to keep cool on a hot summer day, Derricka Davis, Rockford Park District aquatics manager, said in a news release. Safety has been and will continue to be a top priority for the Rockford Park District, so a variety of new protocols will be in place to ensure a fun and safe recreational experience.”
