Lafayette Swimming Pool Now Open!

Lafayette Mayor Richard Driver would like to announce that the newly renovated Lafayette Swimming Pool officially opened on Monday, June 1, and is ready for swimmers, drivers and sliders.

 

“This is a week later than normal, but that’s because of COVID-19,” said the mayor. “The swimming pool has been renovated and this year we have a slide. Of course, due to the virus we have new guidelines that are posted at the pool.”

Pool hours are Monday-Saturday 11:00 a.m. till 5:00 p.m. and Sunday 1:00 p.m. till 5:00 p.m. This year to reserve the pool for a party, you must call or come by City Hall – you can’t make reservations there at the pool. For more information call Lafayette City Hall at 615-666-2194.

Also open at Lafayette City Park is the pavilion, tennis court, basketball court & volleyball court. However, the playground will remain closed for the time being due to the CDC guidelines.
