VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The Gaukler Family Wellness Center indoor pool will be temporarily closed from March 23 through April 5 for scheduled annual maintenance.
Valley City Parks and Recreation Executive Director Tyler Jacobson said once the two-week pool maintenance is complete, the pool will reopen on Monday, April 6th.
Jacobson added, while the annual maintenance period is part of the facility’s normal operations, VCPR is also taking the opportunity to complete additional cleaning throughout the aquatics area. He said these extra steps reflect the department’s commitment to maintaining a safe, welcoming environment and providing added peace of mind for members and guests. Projects during the closure include cleaning of the hot tub interior, tile replacement, grout work, and painting in select areas of the pool area. In addition, pool tile and duct work will be cleaned along with conducting an inspection of the pool interior and completing any necessary plaster repairs.
Jacobson said this maintenance period also provides a hands-on learning opportunity as they welcome their new Aquatics Manager, Mercidez Lunn, who will be working alongside staff to prepare the facility for a successful season.
