Silver Lake Pool to open Thursday after vandalism delay

ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) – The City of Rochester Parks & Recreation Department announced Wednesday that Silver Lake Pool will open on June 30, 2022.

The pool’s opening date had to be pushed back after the main drain cover was destroyed by vandalism earlier this summer. The drain has been replaced and the pool is ready to welcome the community.
