Just in time for summer, all of Lexington’s Parks and Recreation
aquatic centers and pools now accept debit/credit cards. Pool
patrons may pay admissions and concessions with any major credit
card.
“Our aquatic centers and pools are a fun and affordable way to
cool off on a hot summer day,” Mayor Jim Gray said. “Now with the
option of paying for admission and concession stand snacks with the
quick swipe of a credit card, we’re making it easier and more
convenient for families to enjoy their experience.”
The City’s Division of Parks & Recreation partnered with
Kentucky Interactive, LLC., a subsidiary of NIC, to establish a
secure payment system at Lexington’s seven public aquatic
facilities. The project included equipping each pool location with
new computers and Internet connectivity for credit card
processing.
“We continue to strive for customer satisfaction at our aquatic
facilities and consider the credit card payment system a major step
forward for the citizens of Lexington,” said Brian Rogers, Deputy
Director of Enterprise at Parks & Recreation. “We appreciate
the support of Kentucky Interactive in helping launch the
project.”
Lexington’s annual Poolapalooza event will kick off the aquatic
season from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, May 23, at the Southland
Aquatic Center. “Admission to Poolapalooza is free, and we
encourage patrons to try the credit card service at the concession
stand with selections from the Better Bites menu,” Rogers
added.
The City’s four aquatic centers – Castlewood, Southland, Tates
Creek and Woodland – will open Saturday, May 23. Neighborhood pools
– Douglass, Shillito and Picadome – open for the season on
Saturday, May 30. Check the Parks & Recreation aquatics webpage
