(KNZA)--Preparations are being made for the opening of the Hiawatha Aquatic Park on May 28th.

The City Commission this week approved pool rates for the 2016 season as presented by Recreation Director Grover Hargrove.

Hargrove says rates will remain the same, with the exception of a  discounted daily single admission rate for seniors 60 and over.  Seniors will pay $3, which is the same rate charged to those ages 6 to 17.

Children five and younger will continue to get in free and those 18 and over will pay $4 for a single daily admission.

Hargrove said between April 1st and April 29th, pool passes can be purchased at a discount rate.  Regular rates will be charged after April 29th.
