Mayor Domenic J. Sarno visited Forest Park Pool today to thank our aquatics staff, lifeguards, police, and sheriff’s for their commitment to the safety of our entire community.
Mayor Sarno states, “Thank you to our dedicated lifeguards and all our aquatics and parks staff as well as our public safety professionals from our Springfield Police Department and the Hampden County Sheriff’s Department for your dedication and hard work to keep our pools a safe and enjoyable environment for all. Your efforts toward safety for all are deeply appreciated and we could not offer our summer swim program without you. Thank you also to the many families who continue to utilize our recreational spaces with care and respect.”
“I was so happy to see many families enjoying the Forest Park pool and splash pad on this nice, sunny summer day. A number of parents and families expressed how happy they are that the pool is back open, and many also expressed that the few individuals, juveniles, who have been perpetrating these criminal activities need to be held accountable, as do their parents. Many folks understand that lack of consequences will continue to embolden those few individuals that want to ruin a good thing for all.”
