Hawaii County Swimming Pools Closing July 3-4
Hawaii County's nine swimming pools will be closed Friday, July 3, and
Saturday, July 4, in observance of Independence Day.
Hilo's Charles "Sparky" Kawamoto Swim Stadium, Pahoa Community
Aquatic Center, Kona Community Aquatic Center and the other pools will
return to normal operating hours on Sunday, July 5.
To minimize impacts to pool patrons, the Department of Parks and
Recreation will utilize the closure period to remove algae growth, which
increases during the hot summer months, and prepare the municipal
swimming pools for the busy summer swim season. Staff will post signs at
each pool informing patrons of the temporary scheduling change.
Swimmers with questions are asked to call a pool directly for more
information. Contact numbers and other details are listed online at.

The Department of Parks and Recreation apologizes for any inconvenience
the temporary closures may cause and thanks pool users and the general
public for understanding the need for the holiday scheduling.
For more information, please contact Jason Armstrong, Public Information
Officer, at 961-8311 or iarmstronq�a hawaiicountgov.
