SLIPPERY ROCK TWP — The second annual Car Cruise in Armco Park continued its mission to bring more awareness to the park’s presence, especially its recently reopened pool.

“The pool is open for the summer,” said Sandy Ihlenfeld, executive director of the Butler YMCA. “We also have a splash pad.”

The pool, which had been closed for the last two years, made its official return Saturday. Open to the public, the pool’s hours are noon to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday; noon to 9 p.m., Saturday; and noon to 5 p.m., Sunday.

Ihlenfeld said while the pool, which has been closed for two years, is the cool feature this summer, the annual car cruise is about showing off all that the park has too offer.

“It’s nice, and it’s close to home,” said Alyssa Tebay, of Slippery Rock. “It’s very family friendly, too.”
