Hope everyone is having a great summer and is enjoying preparing for school to start again. A couple of updates for the pool's operations as we finish out this pool season soon:
1. As of TODAY at 3pm, we are going to start selling all of our concessions at a significantly lower price to try and get rid of inventory before Labor Day! Make sure to grab some snacks at low prices next time you're here.
2. We will be open everyday until school starts on the 19th like normal, and then after that, we will only be open the 23rd, 24th, 30th, 31st of August, and Labor Day (September 1st).
3. On Labor Day, our hours will be from 12pm-6pm. Amenities will be limited that day as we will be preparing to close for the winter.
Thanks everyone, and hope you see you at the pool as we get ready to wrap up the 2025 season!

As you know, we are celebrating all things that make Lawson awesome this year! 🥳 We invite you to visit our amazing summer intern Haley at the info booth in the center of the park and share what you think makes Lawson awesome! We'll use video clips to promote #lawsonisawesome all year long.
And even if you don't want to speak on camera, we are also working on another top secret project that we need fun, enthusiastic people to hold a sign for... So bring the kids over and help us complete our top secret mission! 🤫
Our patriotic, rustic barns turned out great today! Thanks to everyone who joined us for Golden Cardinals step by step painting! 🖌️🎨
Cooper will rise again! A new carved Cooper the Cardinal will return to the heart of Lawson! Thanks to wood carver and Park Board member John Hoffman, the beloved statue has been recreated in the utmost glory for future generations to adore and celebrate.
📍 Join us in the center of the Lawson City Park (near the WW1 War Memorial) on Friday, June 12 at 5:30pm at the Lawson Picnic 2026 as we celebrate the return of the carved Cooper the Cardinal! This will be a great chance to get a photo with the new statue before it's permanently installed and to see it up close and person. ☺️
