For the third straight year, City Hall and Fresno Unified School District will partner to open up pools and school fields during the summer.
The city will provide staff for the parks and pools; the district provides the facilities.
Fresno Unified Superintendent Bob Nelson called it a “true partnership.”
“The taxpayers provided the amenity, the taxpayers get to enjoy that amenity year round,” Nelson said.
City spokesman Mark Standriff said two of the city’s seven splash pads at local parks are still closed, but they hope to have them returned to service “ASAP.”
Mosqueda Center in southeast Fresno, as well as Inspiration Park in west Fresno, have no timetable to reopen.
Standriff says the problem is with the system that disinfects the recycled water.
