After closing for about a month for roof repairs and renovations, the pool at Johnson Park is open just in time for summer vacation.

 “The facility’s been cleaned from top to bottom and it looks brand new,” said Pool Manager Jason Cutchins. “The water’s been freshly treated and it looks like glass right now. It’s a great way to start the summer season.”

The pool is open Monday to Friday, 6 a.m. - 9 p.m., and Saturday 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.

The repairs addressed moisture damage in sections of the pool ceiling and were the first major improvements since 2005 when the pool’s shell was replaced. The base of the ceiling was also repainted and locker room doors were removed and replaced with aluminum doors.

 The repairs were completed in time for the pool’s busiest time of year - summer, when attendance more than doubles.  To compensate, the facility brings in additional staff and lifeguards to help.

The pool’s reopening kicks off Johnson Park Pool’s many summer-long swimming programs. Starting June 7, public and private swimming lessons will be offered for all ages and levels ranging from beginner to advanced. Five swimming camps are also available over the course of the summer, as well as water aerobics for senior citizens and practices for the Rockdale Riptides swim league.
