Adventure Cove's watery world returns Saturday, and Chris Gibson, assistant director of community services, said it seems swimmers are ready to dive in. Featuring a leisure pool with a zero-depth beach entry, a lazy river, water slides and more, the facility, which has a pirate adventure theme, was built as part of a 2015 bond election. The aquatic center had a little more than 36,000 patrons visit in the 2019 season, Gibson said. But COVID-19 soaked 2020's offering. With the pandemic seemingly on the wane, the hope is to see crowds return, Gibson said, and the opening Saturday should provide an idea of how many are comfortable getting back out.
