Terrell County to sponsor free swimming at Bicentennial Park Pool for America's 250th
Summary
Commissioners approved sponsorship for free public swimming at the Bicentennial Park Pool from June 9 through July 31, 2026, designating the pool a venue for America's 250th celebration; donations will help keep the pool open and donors will be acknowledged with signage.
The Terrell County Commissioners' Court voted May 29 to sponsor free swimming at the Bicentennial Park Pool as part of America's 250th Birthday Celebration. Judge Dale Carruthers briefed the court, saying the pool will be considered a "venue" for the event and that donations are being received to help keep the pool open for the summer season.
The court record shows the pool is planned to operate June 9, 2026, through July 31, 2026, and that admission will be provided free of charge for that operating period; donors will be recognized with signage at the pool. Commissioner Gene Chavez moved to approve the sponsorship; Commissioner Ele Hagelstein seconded the motion and all members voted "aye," carrying the motion.
The court's order approves the county's sponsorship; logistical details such as staffing, lifeguard schedules, insurance coverage or the current donation total were not stated in the transcript and will be handled administratively.
