The pool at the High River Rec-Plex re-opened Monday July 3.

Aquatics Supervisor Katie Crysdale says they're thrilled to be back in operation.

"We do recognize this has been a long closure for everyone and we've really made the most of it," she says "We attacked every aspect of the pool, the walls, the ceiling, the mechanical and we really hope this will carry us over well into the future, in terms of staying on top of the maintenance and repairs that we need to make to do the facility the justice it needs to keep it working and running."

She says the hot tub has been re-tiled and there's a new chlorination system to alleviate some of the past problems.

Crysdale also wants to remind residents the spray park on Riverside Drive in the north west part of the town is open seven days a week until Labour Day.
