Correction: Back To School Hours Start Aug 7
Many of our guards are returning to school this week so our new hours will be 4:00 – 8:00 PM on weekdays starting August 7. Weekends will be 6:00 AM – 8:00 PM. On the bright side, we’re open an hour later now! Our currently scheduled last day is Labor Day, but we are trying to work out schedules with guards to extend it.
Our swim meet this weekend was a bust, but it’s to be expected in a community with such active families. There’s an end-of-year member thank you party planned for closing weekend and an upcoming fundraiser at the pool for the Los Alamos swim team tentatively planned for mid-September so please keep an eye on the Calendar for details on those upcoming events.
And of course, thank you for supporting East Park Pool. It is always appreciated, but especially this year.

Pool Is Open Tomorrow!
We are still working on the drain issue, but the pool will be open for swimming! The pool house is available for changing, but please do not use the facilities. There’s a hose on deck for rinsing and portapotties for your business. See you tomorrow!
Closure Update #5
We have discovered a big holding tank under the lift station that is not emptying. Tomorrow morning, we have an excavator coming to pull off the giant lid, a septic truck to pump out the tank, and another truck delivering porta-potties.
Because of the heavy machinery, re-opening will be delayed until Friday. Until the lift station is fixed, POOL HOUSE DRAINS MUST NOT BE USED. We do not have an ETA on that. The bathrooms will be open for changing only. There is a hose on deck for rinsing and portapotties for your business.
We are sorry for such a rough year of repairs, but we’re a handy and resourceful crew that has managed to overcome every obstacle so far and we’re not slowing down. We are taking every advantage to address whatever maintenance issues we can during the closures. Guards are cleaning and replacing mats and board members are addressing facility repairs. We cannot thank you enough for supporting East Park Pool.
Closure Update #4
Today we discovered that there is a big holding tank under the lift station that is not emptying. We exposed the lid today, but it takes an excavator to pull the lid up. The excavator is not available till later in the week. We’re getting porta potties delivered on Thursday so that we can open.
