Bismarck’s BLUE COOL Water – Elks Aquatic Center Coming Alive

There was a sea of disappointing Bismarck/Mandan people who had their sights on hot summer days and lounging at the pool...

...this was the case just last month when it was announced that "Bismarck will only have one outdoor pool open this summer" - back on May 24th - according to kfyrtv.com "Bismarck Parks and Recreation needs 40 more lifeguards to fully staff and safely open all three outdoor Bismarck pools. That means they’re only going to open Hillside Pool this summer"  - Like I said earlier, a FLOOD of disappointing people had their summer visions ruined. Temporarily

Suddenly the future looks bright and refreshing, to say the least

If someone out there was praying for things to change, they sure got their wish. Very soon there will be a sea of happy-soon-to-be-sun-tanned North Dakotans, stepping into the cool blue water of the Elks Aquatic Center. Check this out - Here is a Media Release from Bismarck Parks And Recreation District - but first a quick tease :) - BPRD Announces Schedule for Elks Aquatic Center!

Opening day is set for THIS Friday - High Noon - Bring your towel and sunscreen...
