LEXINGTON, Ky. -- (Business Wire)
Just in time for summer, all of Lexington’s
Parks and Recreation aquatic centers and pools now accept
debit/credit cards. Pool patrons may pay admissions and concessions with
any major credit card.
“Our aquatic centers and pools are a fun and affordable way to cool off
on a hot summer day,” Mayor Jim Gray said. “Now with the option of
paying for admission and concession stand snacks with the quick swipe of
a credit card, we’re making it easier and more convenient for families
to enjoy their experience.”
The City’s Division of Parks & Recreation partnered with Kentucky
Interactive, LLC., a subsidiary of NIC,
to establish a secure payment system at Lexington’s seven public aquatic
facilities. The project included equipping each pool location with new
computers and Internet connectivity for credit card processing.
“We continue to strive for customer satisfaction at our aquatic
facilities and consider the credit card payment system a major step
forward for the citizens of Lexington,” said Brian Rogers, Deputy
Director of Enterprise at Parks & Recreation. “We appreciate the support
of Kentucky Interactive in helping launch the project.”
Lexington’s annual Poolapalooza event will kick off the aquatic season
from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, May 23, at the Southland Aquatic Center.
“Admission to Poolapalooza is free, and we encourage patrons to try the
credit card service at the concession stand with selections from the
Better Bites menu,” Rogers added.
The City’s four aquatic centers – Castlewood, Southland, Tates Creek and
Woodland – will open Saturday, May 23. Neighborhood pools – Douglass,
Shillito and Picadome – open for the season on Saturday, May 30. Check

webpage for information on hours and admission prices.
