Joplin Aquatic Centers open May 24, season passes available now

(From the City of Joplin)

As warmer weather approaches, it’s time to start thinking about how you are going to cool off this summer! The Joplin pools are a great way to do this, and they’re open for events too. This year’s opening day for Schifferdecker, Ewert, and Cunningham Family Aquatic Centers is Saturday, May 24.
The Family Aquatic Centers offer various amenities for children of all ages and their families, including a family changing area, concession area, a zero depth entry into the main pool area; an in-pool shaded rest area; and interactive spray features. Each center has various amenities that draw kids of all ages into the water. Younger children will enjoy play areas in the water, and more experienced swimmers can jump, dive and slide their way into the water. For those enjoy the sunshine or prefer to stay dry, expanded deck areas with sunbathing opportunities plus several shaded canopy areas with deck furniture are featured at each location.
Schifferdecker Aquatic Center is located at 4th and Schifferdecker Streets. Admission is four dollars for children, five dollars for adults 16 years of age and older, and children age 2 and under are admitted free of charge.
