Howard Hopkins Memorial Pool to undergo urgent pool liner repairs this May

Historically, the pool has opened on or around Memorial Day weekend. Due to urgent liner repairs needed it is anticipated that opening day will be delayed this year.

The liner at the zero-depth entry, and various locations throughout the pool, is failing. In addition to the approximate lead time for materials, the necessary pool liner repairs will require long curing times which is the primary cause for a delayed opening this year.

At this time, we do not have an estimated opening date. Updates will be available at cityofleavenworth.com/community/pool.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work towards repairing the pool liner as quickly as feasible.
