Following delays in the construction process, the new Hoisington city pool officially opened last Friday. Carrothers Construction handled the construction on the $3 million facility in Bicentennial Park.

Manager Jonathan Mitchell said the city’s “quality of life” sales tax helped
fund the new pool to replace the old facility built in 1962.
"We're stoked," said Mitchell. "It's been 60 years since Hoisington dedicated its last pool. The voters overwhelmingly supported the sales tax that is helping to finance this."
Admission is $3 for anyone three years of age or older, unless you submitted a
pool form prior to May 15.
"This is an ADA-compliant pool with a zero-depth entry, splash pad, two slides, basketball goal and a diving board," said Mitchell.
The Hoisington pool will be open Monday through Friday from 1 to 5 p.m. for
open swim and again from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
