King City Pools Announces Modified Summer Schedule and Temporary Closure

The dive pool at the King City Pool Facility will be undergoing a major renovation which will impact the 2023 King City Pools summer season. Over the past several years, the dive pool has experienced delamination of the pool floor and walls resulting in cracks in the surface. This condition requires resurfacing as soon as possible to avoid any further damage. Work had been slated to begin early in the spring, but inclement weather disrupted the schedule. As a result, the City of King has no choice but to perform the work in the summer which will require closure of all the pools to the public for a portion of the construction period. The dive pool work will begin on Saturday, May 20 and is expected to last approximately 6 weeks. Therefore, the modified summer pool schedule is as follows:

May 30 – June 9: Open for school pool parties and afternoon swimming lessons only.

June 3, 4, 10 and 11, weekends only: Open for lap swim at noon (Saturday only) and rec swim from 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.

June 12 – June 23: Facility closed to the public for dive pool fiberglass application.

June 24 – August 4: Regular season commences; open Tuesday – Sunday, swimming lessons (Tuesday – Friday), water aerobics (Tuesday – Friday at noon), lap swimming (Tuesday – Saturday at noon), rec swim from 1:00 p.m. – 3:50 p.m.

Swimming lesson registration begins on May 15 at www.kingcityrecreation.com. The City will offer lessons at 10:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., 4:15 p.m. and 5:15 p.m. The swimming lesson schedule is as follows:

Session 1: May 30 – June 9 – Afternoons only

Lake San Antonio Closed Due to Large Scale Fish Die Off; Number of Fish Impacted is Increasing and Reason for Die Off Remains Unknown

July 9, 2024- Out of abundance of caution for public health, County of Monterey Parks is closing the Lake San Antonio facility due to a large-scale fish die off from an unknown cause. On July 5, 2024, Parks staff noticed that dead baitfish, mostly shad, began washing up on the shore around Lake San Antonio and immediately contacted California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to report the situation.
