The City of Wichita plans to open all city pools and splash pads on Memorial Day. The city passed an aquatics plan costing nearly $20 million in 2019. Pools and splash pads in the first phase were expected to open last summer, but because of COVID-19, swimmers had to wait another year. Wichita Aquatics Manager Brian Hill said last week that at the updated locations across town, you’ll see different forms of art like murals and sculptures. This year, Memorial Day is May 31. Hill said because pools were closed last year, the city was able to accelerate construction. Phase two centers will open this year instead of next, and this means more jobs are available.
