The Lincoln Parks and Recreation Department is modifying some public pool hours and services because of staffing shortages.
Beginning May 30, all nine city pools will be open from 1-6 p.m. every day.
Porter Cassalia of Fort Collins, Colo., reaches the pool at the bottom of a slide at Star City Shores last summer. Because of staffing shortages, all Lincoln pools will be open limited hours this season.
Concessions stands will not be open at Highlands, Star City Shores, University Place or Woods pools. Beverage vending machines will be available.
Minor scheduling adjustments were necessary to keep all pools open, said Lynn Johnson, Parks and Rec director.
Originally, Star City Shores, Highlands and Uni Place would have been open longer hours and the pool season would have started May 28.
Now the 2022 pool season will run through Aug. 14.
Family swim nights begin May 31 and are offered from 6-8 p.m. for $10 per family at the following pools:
* Friday: Arnold Heights and Woods.
The free Trago Sprayground, 22nd and U streets, will be open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily May 28 through Labor Day.
There are positions available for seasonal work for the city, including lifeguards, recreation leaders and parks laborers. Visit jobs.lincoln.ne.gov and select "Seasonal Opportunities" from the menu bar.
