Love Municipal Pool, 18 E. Avenue A, will be open for public swimming from noon to 6PM July 3rd and 5th. The pool will be closed Saturday, July 4th. Admission is $5 per person for ages 3-64, free for children younger than 3, and $3 for 65 and older. Avenue A will be barricaded July 3 in advance of the San Angelo Symphony’s July 3 Pops Concert and fireworks extravaganza at the neighboring RiverStage, so attendees may have to park farther from the pool than normal.

On Saturday, July 4, Fort Concho will celebrate an old Independence Day Army tradition, firing hourly artillery salutes from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. on the Parade Ground to mark the nation’s 239th birthday. There will be no charge to watch the artillery or to enter the fort’s Visitor Center at Barracks 1. Regular site charges will be in effect for the rest of the fort’s eight tour buildings, which will be open from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. on the holiday.

Admission rates are $3 for adults, $2 for seniors and military, $1.50 for children ages 7-17, and free for kids 6 and younger. Because Fort Concho participates in the Blue Star Program, all active-duty military are admitted at no charge from Memorial Day to Labor Day, as are military veterans and their families.

Admission will be charged throughout the holiday weekend at Spring Creek and Middle Concho parks at Lake Nasworthy. Day passes cost $3 per vehicle for City residents and $6 for non-residents. Camping passes cost $6 per campsite for City residents, $12 for non-residents.

Glass containers, which pose a public safety hazard, are prohibited at the lake parks, as well as all city parks. Citizens visiting the lake are encouraged to alert the San Angelo Police Department if they witness any instances of vandalism, reckless behavior or other unlawful acts in an effort to keep Lake Nasworthy safe, enjoyable and attractive.
