Special Health Notice
There is a heightened concern due to E-coli outbreaks in swimming pools from fecal matter associated with diaper-agedchildren. For this reason, Fargo Cass Public Health Department and the West Fargo Park District have adopted a policy requiring all diaper-aged children to wear waterproof/water tight diapers while swimming in the Veterans Memorial Pool.
Unattended Child Policy
Because the West Fargo Park District cares about patrons, the following policy was adopted. We ask all parents and guardians to be on time when picking up their child from a West Fargo Park District activity or facility. Any child not picked up 20 minutes after an activity ends is considered an “unattended child." Program leaders will remain on site until all patrons have left the premises. However, after 20 minutes, the West Fargo Police Department will be contacted to pick up the child and escort them to the proper authorities. Children under the age of 7 must be accompanied by an adult or a student age 14 or older.
Admittance To The Veterans Memorial Pool
The West Fargo Park District provides lifeguards to ensure that all patrons are safe while swimming. Groups are to provide supervisors to enforce rules, maintain safety, and help discipline their children when necessary. All young children must be supervised according to the rules below.
- Supervisors must be 16 or older.
- All children age 8 and younger must be supervised. (children age 9 and older may enter the pool by themselves)
- There must be at least 1 supervisor for every 8 children.
- Children age 6 and under must be directly supervised and in one pool.
- Children age 7 and 8 may swim in the big pool as long as their supervisor is in the pool facility.
Pool Rules
- No glass containers No water toys - except during family swim
- No food in pool area No bandages or open sores will be allowed in pool
- No cutoff shorts or t-shirts in pool
