The water will be cleared by the lifeguards during inclement weather – thunder & lightning. From time to time, the lifeguards may also clear the water for safety reasons.
Q It was so hot last September. If it’s hot this September, will you stay open longer?
A Our budget is based on the Memorial to Labor Day calendar and we release our staff after Labor Day. We cannot allow unsupervised access to the Park for liability reasons, so, despite the good weather, we cannot re-open the Park after Labor Day.
