A summer staple isn’t opening this year.
La Crosse Parks and Recreation yesterday announced they’re canceling the 2020 aquatic season at the Veterans Memorial, North Side Community, and Erickson pools. The department says they were concerned with safety and staffing, and opening the pools requires weeks of preparation, so the decision is not likely to change. Officials say they still plan to maintain and open the city’s splash pads and public beaches when it is deemed safe to do so.
