Lifeguard shortages continue to cause changes at McPherson Water Park. Staffing shortages have led to the water park being closed on Mondays. On Tuesday, the city commission made additional changes to help keep the water park open for the remainder of the season. All swimming parties scheduled for July and August have been canceled. There will be 10 total refunds given, totaling $2,225. Additionally, the McPherson Recreation Commission free swim special event has been canceled for the year. “Right now, the most important thing is to ensure that the greatest priority remains on safety, not just that of our residents but also the safety of our employees,” Wayne Burns, director of public lands and facilities said.
