The full story
Tom Tackett, maintenance superintendent for Anderson City Parks, told the board that because school resumes the next day in the district, pool hours will change effective immediately: "...tomorrow is the 1st day back to school in Anderson, so our hours will be changing effective tomorrow. So what there will be is at Monday through Friday, we'll be open 4PM to 7PM in the evening. Saturdays and Sundays will remain the same..." He said the pools and splash pad are scheduled to remain open through Labor Day and that he has enough lifeguards to keep the facilities operating, although guard coverage could be tight between Aug. 28 and Sept. 7.
