The opening of Black Bob Bay has been delayed due to leaks discovered during routine maintenance.

City of Olathe staff began repair efforts as soon as the leaks were detected. Repair materials will take at least 48 hours to cure and set once all repair work has been completed. After the materials have cured, it will take an additional 48 hours to ensure water quality is safe for public swimming.

The City anticipates the earliest an update will be provided is Friday, June 2.

In order to provide residents and customers with as many swimming options as possible while repairs are being completed, the City of Olathe will open Frontier Pool, Oregon Trail Pool, and Mill Creek Pool on Saturday, May 27, two days earlier than their original opening dates. The Beach and Aqua Park at Lake Olathe will open as planned on Saturday, May 27. Additionally, access to the Olathe Community Center pool will be included in all Splash Pass memberships while Black Bob Bay is closed.

All Splash Pass members who bring their Splash Pass reusable cup to Frontier Pool, Oregon Trail Pool, and Mill Creek Pool will receive free drinks through Monday, May 29. Additionally, all concessions at the outdoor pools will be 50 percent off for both Splash Pass members and day pass users through May 29.

Thank you for your patience as the City works diligently to repair Black Bob Bay as quickly and safely as possible.
