Unfortunately, the ARC Water Zone is closed due to a f***l incident. Staff will clean and sanitize, and the pool will reopen Wednesday, June 3.
If you’d like to swim Tuesday, Albert-Oakland Family Aquatic Center and Lake of the Woods Pool are scheduled to open at noon.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
