Las Cruces closes Regional Aquatic Center activity pool for emergency repairs
The City of Las Cruces has closed the activity pool at the Regional Aquatic Center for emergency maintenance, interrupting access to that pool while repair work is completed.
In a notice published July 23, the city said the repairs would require at least seven days. The city did not announce a reopening date for the activity pool.
The at-least-seven-day timeline is a minimum estimate for completing repairs, not a confirmed date for the pool to return to service. The available city notice does not confirm whether the activity pool reopened after that initial estimate.
Warm-water pool remains open
The closure is limited to the activity pool. The city said the Regional Aquatic Center’s warm-water pool would continue operating during the emergency maintenance period.
That means the announcement does not close the entire aquatic center. Residents planning to use the city recreation and cooling facility during the summer can still use the warm-water pool, though activity-pool access is unavailable until repairs are finished.
The city’s notice identifies the work as emergency maintenance but does not describe the equipment or condition that needs repair. It also does not identify a contractor or provide a cost for the work.
No confirmed reopening schedule
Because Las Cruces set no specific reopening date, July 23 plus seven days should not be treated as a guaranteed return date. The city said only that at least seven days would be necessary to complete the repairs, leaving open the possibility that the closure could last longer.
The notice also does not state when the repairs began. The public information available with the announcement is limited to the closure, the minimum estimated repair period and continued operation of the warm-water pool.
The Regional Aquatic Center is the municipal facility affected by the closure. The announcement was issued by the City of Las Cruces and concerns public access to one part of the center rather than a systemwide closure of city recreation services.
What comes next
No later reopening announcement is included in the available city information. A confirmed reopening date would require a subsequent update from the city.
For information on the activity-pool closure or repair status, the city directed the public to call 575-541-2782. Until the city issues an update, the stated repair timeline remains at least seven days and the warm-water pool remains the pool identified by the city as continuing to operate.
