The grand opening of the Clarendon Aquatic Center is just over two weeks away, and City Hall says annual passes will go on sale to the public next week.
Annual passes will allow frequent users of the facility to save money over the course of the summer. Day passes will cost $5 for everyone over the age of 17, $4 for ages 4-17, and free for ages three and under. Annual passes are $100 per individual and $250 for a family of up to four members and $50 for each additional household family member.
City Administrator David Dockery also encourages anyone wishing to plan a birthday party or other event after regular hours to please call City Hall right away at 806-874-3438 to get on the calendar so that lifeguards can be scheduled appropriately. Parties can be scheduled at the aquatic center after hours at a rate of $125 per hour.
The center will be open regularly from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday and will be closed on Mondays. Private parties can be planned after hours, and the city is working with the Donley County Senior Citizens on the potential for senior events during the morning hours, and other morning-only activities are being discussed as well.
A public grand opening is being planned for Friday, May 28, and regular hours will begin Saturday, May 29, in time for the Memorial Day weekend. (Editor’s note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly reported that the grand opening would be an invitation-only event.)
Dockery said Trinity Cavanaugh will serve the manager for the aquatic center and 12 people have now successfully completed training to serve as lifeguards at the facility.
This week, work is underway to curb and pave the center’s parking lot, and the city is also planning to resurface the paving on Kearney Street along the aquatic center from Fourth Street to Sixth Street.
