Total Number Of First Week Fayetteville Public Pools Users
Between the dates of May 27 to June 2, a total of 10,428 people visited the Fayetteville-Cumberland pool sites. Between all four public pools in the Fayetteville area, Lake Rim Aquatic Park had the most first week visitors, which accounted for nearly half the combined total at 4,198.
In a news release on the city of Fayetteville’s official website, The Aquatics Coordinator of Fayetteville-Cumberland Parks and Recreation Katie Smart explained the recent popularity of the public pool openings.
“It’s great for children of all ages, giving them the opportunity to be outdoors and enjoy their summer vacation,” Smart said. “For smaller kids, and those who just want to be outside and get cooled off, I strongly recommend our splash pads. They are safe and fun.”
