Westmoor Pool in Scottsbluff not opening the summer of 2020

Posted May 07, 2020 8:45 PM

Scottsbluff - Regrettably the City of Scottsbluff’s Westmoor Pool will not be opening this season.  

While this was a very difficult decision it was based on the best available information and complies with directions from our insurance carrier and State authorities.  These reasons include the following.

The League Association of Risk Management Scottsbluff’s liability insurance carrier has advised all member communities to close pools for the summer 2020 season.

The State has issued an order for no group sports unless it’s with members of your own household.

The State has also ordered an advisory to help kids follow social distancing. Play at home. No group sports and no playgrounds

Finally Nebraska  is continuing a 10-person gathering limit.

We understand and share in the community’s frustrations with returning our community to more normal times.  

We ask for your understanding this action is to protect residents within reason and will continue our goal of providing as many recreation outlets as possible for your enjoyment.
