There was plenty of “Summer Fun” announced May 7 from multiple agencies on post, which fit the theme of the Woodworks community forum at Pershing Community Center.
Among the announcements: Fort Leonard Wood will reopen its swimming pools for the first time since 2019.
Katy Carter, Business and Recreation director for Morale, Welfare and Recreation, announced that the Wallace Outdoor Pool will be open for recreational swimming when the Fort Leonard Wood Rec Plex opens its mini-golf course Memorial Day Weekend.
“Yes, the pools are opening,” Carter said. “We will (also) be bringing back birthday party reservations in the evening after hours, so you’ll be able to do that shortly.”
