Gallagher Fort Swimming Pool at 12:00 pm on Sunday, August 13th, to celebrate the recent improvements and enhancements to the City-owned and operated public pool that the Mayor announced earlier this month.
The City has installed a handicap-accessible, mushroom sprayer and sprinkler to accommodate smaller children and also created a large sandbox in the pool area to provide a beach-like experience while using the pool. The Mayor also said the appearance of the pool would be enhanced and the City would provide additional tables and chairs for parents and pool attendees.
"As Mayor, I am proud to invest in our City amenities to provide more options and a better experience at the City pool for our children. To celebrate the recent improvements, we will have a grand re-opening ribbon-cutting, and public swim on Sunday August 13th will be free for all swimmers and parents/guardians," said Mayor Billy Barlow. "My administration will remain committed to investing in our assets and finding new and creative ways to better accommodate those with special needs in our community, and allow more children in our community to take advantage of the pool," the Mayor concluded.
The pool is open for public swim on Sunday August 13th, from 12:00 pm until 7:00 pm and will be free to all attendees. A formal ribbon cutting will open public swim at 12:00 pm with Mayor Barlow, members of the Oswego Common Council and Department of Public Works Commissioner Tom Kells.
