After the previous opening of the lap pool, more features at Copper Sky Aquatic Center are set to open May 30 starting at 1 p.m., according to the City of Maricopa.

The swimming pools at Copper Sky were among the City’s earliest casualties to COVID-19 mitigation measures.

Along with the competition pool, the re-opening includes the leisure pool, water slide and climbing wall. Swim lessons and open swim will be available. The announcement came late Thursday.

Amenities remaining closed are Lazy River, the splash pad and the vortex.

Management has reduced the deck furniture and spread it out, in accordance with guidelines from the Governor’s Office. No more than 100 people will be allowed in the aquatic center at a time.

The center will be open in two-hour increments. Operating times will be 1-3 p.m., 3:30-5:30 p.m. and 6-8 p.m.
