Donal Snyder Community Center’s hours to change

The city’s Donal Snyder Community Center, at 2520 Pass Road, will soon be changing its Saturday hours.

Beginning Sept. 12, the Donal Snyder swimming pool will be closed on Saturdays. Patrons may still swim on Saturdays at the Biloxi Natatorium, another City of Biloxi facility, which is on Father Ryan Avenue next to the Biloxi Junior High.

On Oct. 3, the center will change its Saturday hours to 8 a.m. until noon. The facility has seen a drop in attendance, which led to the schedule changes.

“After reviewing the numbers, attendance on Saturdays have been too low to justify the expense of longer hours,” stated the Parks and Recreation Director Nathan Sullivan.

The Donal Snyder Community Center is a community center that offers swimming, racquet ball, basketball, a fitness center as well as housing city dances and senior programs.

The center will continue its weekday hours. For a complete list of the hours and amenities, visit online at biloxi.ms.us/pr.
