🏊 Firstenburg Pool Will Be Closed in August for Slide Repairs

Welp, looks like Firstenburg’s beloved waterslide is taking a much-needed summer vacation…without us?! The pool will be closed from August 6 - 28 while the slide gets a little TLC (read: gets fully replaced). On the bright side, Firstenburg Community Center members will be able to use the Marshal Community Center pool for free during the slide’s down time.

💧 Water Feature at Esther Short Park Turned Back On After One Year

It’s baaaack! After a whole year of dry spells, the Esther Short Park water feature is officially turned back on and open to the public. Turned on daily from 8AM to dusk, this splash zone is pool-level fancy (AKA water is treated and tested). Water you waiting for?!
