City Facility and Pool Opening Update - As of June 12, 2020
As Governor Abbott, recently implemented Phase III of his plan to open Texas, the City of Southside Place facilities will also continue to phase the reopening guidelines.
The initial decision to close the City’s facilities to the public was consistent with the practices and recommendations of healthcare professionals and other local/state agencies.
During the most recent city council meetings, city council and staff members discussed pool operations and reopening guidelines. Some facilities will continue to remain closed per state and Center for Disease Control guidelines.
- City Hall is to the public. Residents are still encouraged to use the drop box for utility and other payments. The lobby will be limited to 25% capacity with the building permit, utility, and municipal court window available for city business. Social distancing will be observed.
- The pool opened on June 6th. More information about the pool guidelines can be found on the Pool Page here. We are excited for the summer season and ask that residents remember to follow CDC guidelines while enjoying the facility.
- The Southside Place All-Star Swim Team was cancelled per the swim league. We are planning ahead and look forward to an exciting season and return in 2021.
- Fire Truck Park, basketball courts, and the clubhouse will remain closed at this time.
- Tennis courts are open with new lighting and court surface.
- Southside Place summer camp sessions have been cancelled at the clubhouse. Both social distancing requirements and how our wonderful camp is structured each year did not allow for 2020 sessions.
- The next City Council meeting is scheduled to be held on Tuesday, August 11 at 7PM. City Council and staff will continue to review recycling collection in the city during the next few months. Public comments are always welcome and encouraged.
