Brawley day campers to be allowed to use El Centro Aquatic Center

Brawley Mayor Gilbert Rebollar reported that the City Council received a youth program update from Commander John Tang regarding the Summer Day Camp and Teen Center. In response to the ongoing closure of the city pool, the City partnered with the Imperial County Transportation Commission (ICTC) to ensure that camp participants could enjoy weekly trips to the El Centro Aquatic Center. The Teen Center is currently undergoing a remodel to expand services, including the addition of an esports computer lab, a creative arts center, and a multipurpose room that will enhance programming and improve Parks & Recreation operations.

BRAWLEY 性视界传媒 Last week, the Brawley City Council received a presentation regarding the remodeling of the teen center and the planned activities for youth during the summer months.

Brawley Police Commander John Tang outlined the initiatives the city is undertaking. A key focus of the Parks and Recreation Department is to provide day campers with opportunities to swim this summer. To facilitate this, city staff have reached out to El Centro to negotiate an agreement that would allow Brawley day campers to access the El Centro Aquatic Center each Thursday from July 11 to August 15. Campers will be able to swim from 10 a.m. to around 3 p.m.

Commander Tang also mentioned ongoing discussions with the aquatic center staff about the possibility of extending access to Fridays as well. He reassured the council that the city has a 30-day window to finalize the agreement, which he believes will not pose any issues.

It is important to note that day campers will be required to pay the same fees to use the center as El Centro residents.
