Chatham-Kent is once again offering a free way for local residents to keep cool this summer.
CKRecreation outdoor pools are set to open on Tuesday, July 2nd for recreational swimming. Free swimming will be offered at all seven outdoor and two indoor municipal pools throughout the summer, thanks to local sponsors.
As part of the SummerFest Series offered by CKRecreation, fun and engaging activities for all ages will also be offered at each of the pools through July and August.
“We are thrilled to offer a variety of free community programs to the residents of Chatham-Kent again this summer,” said Amy Wadsworth, Manager Recreation Services and Community Engagement. “We hope that families take advantage of these opportunities to get outside, have fun, and connect with their community.”
CKRecreation will be hosting beach days in Erieau and Mitchell’s Bay every Saturday and Sunday throughout July and August from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. The CKRecreation Summer Squad will be on hand to help run activities with lots of beach toys and activities for kids.
SummerFest also introduces weekly Party in the Park throughout July and August. Start the night with a community party followed by a free rec swim. Party in the Park will visit Chatham, Blenheim, Tilbury, Wallaceburg, Ridgetown, Dresden and Thamesville.
