CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The Corpus Christi Parks and Recreation Department has announced their upcoming hours and procedures they will be following due to the COVID-19 pandemic at all community swimming pools and splash pads.
City officials say the Bill Witt Park Splash Pad, located at 6869 Yorktown Boulevard, recently opened on June 29, 2020, to the community and it seems to be a hit with the little ones.
The splash pad area and the pool is open to the public with free admission, but due to precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19, only restrooms will be available, not changing rooms.
Other local pools around the City of Corpus Christi are open as well. All public pools such as Collier Pool and West Guth Pool will be following the same procedures.
City officials want to remind everyone to practice physical distancing of six feet and say only 50 participants will be allowed in each pool area.
