Fingers crossed that this summer we will see things opened back up for the warmer weather.

Sometimes the stories you read are just sad. We can’t avoid bad news even though we want to do just that. I found this as I was scrolling on Facebook over the weekend. This news came from the Amarillo Zoo’s Facebook page:

The City of Amarillo has broken ground on the new Thompson Park Pool and has released renderings of the new facility.

When the Thompson Park pool closed at the end of the 2018 season, there was a lot of uncertainty in whether or not the north-side would see a new pool built.

Do you know what the strange, concrete circle is in Amarillo's Thompson Park?

What are your favorite memories of summer? Is it a special vacation you got to take? Maybe it was hanging out with your friends. Well I can bet you have many memories that included a swimming pool.

Living in Amarillo, means living with changes. We change names on buildings, parks, and streets without giving it a second thought.

There was a time in this area, when the term "Funfest" was synonymous with rain.

Every year the Amarillo Zoo sets aside a day to clean-up the creek and shoreline around the Thompson Park lakes. This is a big endeavor and they need all the help they can get. The more help, the quicker the clean-up goes. If you are looking for a volunteer project to help make one of our city parks more beautiful, then mark your calendars for Clean-Up Day.
