Aaron Stewart, Garden City Parks and Recreation director, gave the Garden City Commission a mid-season report on Garden Rapids at the Big Pool at their regular meeting Tuesday. Since opening, the pool has had an average of about 893 people per day as of July 14, Stewart said. The number has fluctuated, being as high as 1,000 a day and as low as 800 a day. Compared to an average of 309 in 2019 and 330 in 2018, it’s a significant increase, Stewart said. …The number of swimmers has also increased, with 39,308 in 2021. In 2019 there were 25,610 and 27,721 in 2018, Stewart said. “There will be 71,469 swimmers if we continue on this average, that would be our year total,” he said.
