The town of Hollywood Park is ending the 2022 public swim season at the Voigt Park pool sooner than expected.

Mayor Sean Moore announced at the July 19 City Council meeting that the daily operations at the swimming pool for the year will close Aug. 5. However, the pool will remain open 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Saturdays and 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Sundays through September as scheduled, Moore said.

According to Moore, with North East Independent School District beginning classes on Aug. 10, there could be a lack of lifeguards available to care for swimmers on weekdays.
