It’s only the second week of August.  However, it means the close of the season for Shelbyville’s Meridian Park Family Aquatic Center.

Some might remember when a city pool stayed open until, maybe, Labor Day weekend.  But Trisha Tackett with the Shelbyville Parks Department says it’s been years now that staffing is impacted by schools returning early in the month.

So, the pool’s final regular day will be 12 – 6 p.m. on Saturday.  Sunday, welcome in the dogs.

Tackett says they get questions from other communities about having the dogs at the pool.

Being a fundraiser for the animal shelter, make sure you bring cash.

In other parks news, the Splash Pad is operational again at Blue River Memorial Park.

And the parking lot in Morrison Park is being paved and restriped this week.
