Public Opinion on Lyons Pool Not Opening


What are your thoughts on the new pool in Lyons, NE not opening this summer? The elevation on the lazy river is wrong and water can’t reach the end. The lazy river has to be torn up and re-poured. Thoughts?

Jennifer Marr: I go to Lyons pool and with it not opening my siblings and I don’t like it. Summer is suppose to be about swimming and fun but haven’t gone swimming this year with the pool being closed this year.

Abby Simonsen: What is even more sad then the kids not getting to swim is the people who were hired to work for the summer but they kept getting start date pushed back. I understand that the city had to find employees but now those people didn’t get to work a day and now have made no money this summer. My niece is one of the life guards.

Cindy Schorn: I think whomever made the mistake should compensate the people who were hired.

    It is sad for all that looked forward to it and all that depended on it, the City of Lyons is by no way at fault here and they could not have for seen this happening. Its sad for our youth that anticipated its opening, its sad not only for their summer fun but for swimming lessons missed etc. Its sad for all that depended on the pool for their summer jobs. We all know in this community those jobs can be tough to come by for our teens. They all waited for this one only to be disappointed.However it has to be redone, and we have already waited this long with anticipation. I think the youth will understand it has to be done correctly!
