Houston Parks and Recreation opens 27 pools, unveils Judson Robinson senior playground shade and cites large recruitment campaign
Summary
Houston Parks and Recreation announced the opening of 27 neighborhood pools (including Judson Robinson Senior Pool), a new shade structure at the Judson Robinson Senior Playground, and credited a Clear Channel Media campaign that produced 58,800,000 market impressions for aiding lifeguard recruitment.
Houston Parks and Recreation officials said 27 neighborhood pools are open six days a week, the most continuously open since 2019, and celebrated a new shade structure at the Judson Robinson Senior Playground in Pleasantville.
Kenneth Allen, director of the department, said the pool openings and the playground upgrade reflect a broader push to expand neighborhood amenities. “We celebrate a cooler, greener, and better future for everyone,” he said.
Officials said the lifeguard recruitment effort has been aided by a partnership with Clear Channel Media. The transcript states the campaign created more than 58,800,000 market impressions in the Houston area to encourage applications for lifeguards.
The program noted the Judson Robinson Senior Community Center and its playground as part of Pleasantville’s upgrades and emphasized that more city pools are open full time now than at any point since February 2019. The transcript did not include budget figures, procurement details, or specific lifeguard hire totals.
