Pool passes will be changing this year. The Taylorville Park District Secretary Lisa Morillo and Recreational Director Bailey Hancock talked about pool passes and gave an update on the pool leak that was announced at the Park Board meeting on Monday. As far as pool passes go, Hancock says they’ve been around since 2002, but prices will be going up on them this year due to a number of different reasons and they will not be able to give out free ones this year.

A summer pool pass is $100 and the Taylorville Park District is looking for some help to give these kids a chance to swim.

Lisa Morillo says donations have been going good—they’ve received over $1020 dollars, and the Park District has the

opportunity to give right now ten children a summer pool pass but would love to be able to help more children.

Hancock also gave an update on the leak in the pool, saying that they believe it’s fixed and has spent most of Thursday refilling the pool, the hope is to have it open on Monday for Memorial Day.

For the pool passes, if you are interested in getting a pool pass, you have to come into the Park District to make sure all of your information is correct. For more information check the Taylorville Park District Facebook page or call 217-824-3110.
