After spending the summer closed last year because of the pandemic, Salina’s Kenwood Cove Aquatic Park is preparing to reopen this summer.
Kenwood Cove will open for the season over Memorial Day Weekend, on Saturday.
The pool will be open Monday thru Saturday 12:30pm – 7pm and Sunday 12:30pm – 6pm. There will be some special policies in place. They include:
- A daily mid-day break from 3:15 to 4:00. Everyone will be asked to leave the water so staff can deep clean the facility. The facility will also be deep cleaned every evening after close.
- Masks will not be required to be worn at Kenwood Cove. Patrons may do so if they wish, but masks will not be enforced.
- Social distancing will be enforced. Lounge chairs will be spaced in groups of two and four.
- Staff will disinfect high touch areas throughout the day.
- The entrance into the park and exit will be in separate locations.
- The concession stand will be open, with the entrance and exit on separate sides.
The water walking and lap swim programs begin on Monday, May 31st.
Take a walk around the beautiful waterpark via the lazy river. This walk provides resistance and is great for toning lean muscle. Participants may walk with or against the current on the right side. 1 mile equals approximately 8.5 laps around the river.
