🍷 W**E OVER WAYNESBORO CANCELLATION 🍷

Due to the impending weather, Waynesboro Parks & Recreation and our partners at Common Wealth Crush have made the decision to cancel W**e Over Waynesboro, scheduled for Saturday, October 3rd at Sunset Park.

🏊‍♂️ War Memorial Pool just got a mini facelift! 😎

Technically, it was the bottom of the pool that got the work—but either way, we think the kids are going to be pretty excited when summer ’27 rolls around! ☀️💦

This is Phase 1 of our pool surface renovation project, an important step toward keeping the pool safe, welcoming, and ready for another summer of fun.

A little work now means a better pool for everyone to enjoy for years to come!

Summer ’27… here we come! 🌊☀️
