HASTINGS — The City of Hastings has determined the Hastings Aquacourt Water Park will not reopen for the remainder of 2024.

After internal discussions, Hastings Parks and Recreation determined it was in the best interest of Aquacourt staff not to reopen.

The Aquacourt was originally scheduled to close for the season on Friday, Aug. 9. The Doggy Paddle event scheduled for Aug. 12 will also not take place.

Our continued thoughts and prayers go out to the 13-year-old female, her family, friends and everyone impacted by this event in our community.

We are very proud of how the Aquacourt staff handled this situation. We appreciate the community’s thoughts, prayers, and support shown during this challenging time. The City of Hastings is in the process of providing counseling services for Aquacourt staff members.

The Hastings Aquacourt looks forward to serving the public in 2025.
