Park Pool’s opening day set June 15 Due to the COVID19 pandemic, the City of Fredericksburg will delay the opening of Park Pool to June 15. The pool, located at Lady Bird Johnson Municipal Park, is tentatively planned to operate at regular hours — 1-6:30 p.m. Wednesdays through Mondays — depending on the amount of lifeguards, said Andrea Schmidt, Director of Parks and Recreation. Pools can open at 25% capacity, Schmidt said. This is subject to change if Gov. Greg Abbott’s orders change. Town Pool will remain closed due to the lack of lifeguards. Schmidt said lifeguard classes could begin at the end of May.
