IOWA CITY — After an extensive dehumidification project at Mercer Park Aquatic Center, the facility is planned to reopen to the public today.
Along with the reopening, hours for both Robert A. Lee Recreation Center and Mercer Park pools have been updated. Pool schedules at both facilities now include hours listed as ‘open’ rather than designated for a specific type of swim activity. Sections of each pool will be signed for the appropriate use.
The new hours can be found at www.icgov.org/pools.
Upcoming temporary closure announced
Mercer Pool will be closed to the public from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Feb. 2 to complete additional improvements.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, masks are required in all recreation facilities, including pool decks, but may be removed prior to entering the water.
