Russell Sims Aquatic Center Set to Open As Scheduled

The eagerly anticipated Russell Sims Aquatic Center will open its doors on time for the summer season, despite an untimely closure last year owing to critical maintenance issues. A significant crack adjacent to the pool necessitated the early shutdown, however, much-needed repairs are now complete and final preparations are underway as we approach the summer season.

Continuing with Further Preparations

As the season looms, park staff assure us that additional preparations will be completed in the subsequent weeks, with the center set to open without delay on Memorial Day.

A Word from the Recreation Division Manager

“We pride ourselves in providing a facility that enhances the quality of life for the local community. Our commitment each summer is to have the Russell Sims Aquatic Center at its best. However, considering it was established in 2000, and now entering its 25th season, we anticipate the need for regular upkeep and improvements,” said Cameron Levis, Recreation Division Manager for the City of Bowling Green.
