by AP News | Posted on Wednesday, August 29th, 2012

Springfield public pools are coming to a close for the Labor day weekend.

Fassnight Pool will be open Friday, Aug. 31, 4-10 p.m. Fassnight Pool and Grant Beach Pool in Springfield Missouri will be open Saturday, Sept. 1 through Monday, Sept. 3, 1-6:30 p.m., weather permitting. All other outdoor pools are now closed.

Friday and Monday are both Splash n’ Sizzle events, when admission is $1 or a canned food donation. Admission is also reduced after 5:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. All food collected goes to Ozarks Food Harvest. Regular pool admission is $2.75 for adults, $2.25 for kids 3-17.

Labor Day is the last day for humans to swim in Springfield’s outdoor pools this season. Canines, however, are invited to dog paddle in Fassnight Pool Tuesday, Sept. 4, 4-7 p.m. at Dog Swim IX. Proof of vaccination is required and preregistration is strongly recommended, helping dogs and owners spend less time waiting in line and filling out paperwork. Registration is $8 per dog and dog owner; additional humans are $3. All proceeds benefit Cruse Dog Park, Springfield’s first off-leash dog park.
