It’s tremendous that Stapleton has so many great pools to help entertain and keep cool our thousands of kids from our several area schools. Seeing the kids play and have fun adds energy and happiness to everyday life. Every once in a while, however, some people may enjoy a reprieve from the splashing and screaming.
Would it be possible for the MCA to designate one day a week, even if for a time period during that day, an adult only time? The Stapletonion thinks this could be a fun event for adults in the community, where sponsors and vendors may get involved, and it could end up being something the community rallied around. Our thought is that every week, it rotates to a different pool on a Friday from 2PM till close (maybe close a little later). The MCA most certainly wouldn’t need as many lifeguards, so they could save some money right there. Friday would seem to be the best day, simply because people may be able to get out of work early on a Friday, and you could never do it on a weekend day, as the other pools would potentially overcrowd.
So, MCA, let’s give it a shot for a few weeks this summer and see how it goes. Heck, you may even get a lot more people from outside the hood coming in to pay, adding more pool revenue.
*Correction from the editor: We have learned that since the pools are public, they are unable to discriminate by age (or anything else) regarding who gets into the pools. However, that shouldn’t stop the Stapletonion from posting unofficial adult days at certain pools where people are encouraged to go, and maybe choose not to bring their kids to that pool. Stay tuned!
