2010 City of Fort Worth Aquatics Season
Due to budget cuts, six of the seven City of Fort Worth public swimming pools will not open for the 2010 season. The Parks and Community Services Department will only operate one swimming pool — Forest Park Pool, 2850 Park Place, 76110 — for the 2010 summer season. The City's six other swimming pools will not open in accordance with the Fiscal Year 2010 budget; however, the City has contracted to open some YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth pools to the public beginning June 5.
