City officials have announced the opening date for the new Thompson Park Pool.

According to the City of Amarillo, the new aquatic facility will open its doors to the public on Saturday, July 24. The grand opening event on Saturday will include a ribbon cutting at 10:30am, with the doors opening to the public at 11am.

“This project was highly anticipated and truly a collaboration between our city leaders and local community members. We had many members of our community help determine what this pool would look like and how it would best serve our city,” City of Amarillo Director of Parks & Recreation Michael Kashuba said in a statement. “I have no doubt that this pool will make our citizens proud and will serve our area well for many years to come.”

The opening of the new pool comes over two and a half years after the closure of the original Thompson Park Pool in late 2018. This new aquatic facility includes a pool, spray features, a lazy river, slides, a party pavilion, basketball hoops, and a toddler play features.
