Morses Pond opens; Longfellow Fitness Center slides delayed to Aug. 1
Summary
Health staff reported Morses Pond is open with lifeguards, lab reports show no issues, and the Longfellow Fitness Center slides and outdoor pools have been delayed to Aug. 1 while the lap pool is expected to open mid‑July.
Adam DiPersio told the Board that Morses Pond is now open with lifeguards and that routine inspections and lab sampling have not identified problems. He explained the town samples the beach weekly for E. coli and described factors that can affect levels.
DiPersio also reported that Longfellow Fitness Center outdoor slides and pools have had their opening date moved to Aug. 1, 2026; the lap pool is expected to open in mid-July and will be separated by fencing from the slide areas. He said older pools and equipment have been removed and replaced as part of the renovations.
