County will not have lifeguards at Klineline Pond this summer

With summer in full swing, many residents will visit Klineline Pond at Salmon Creek Regional Park to beat the heat.  However, Clark County will not have lifeguards on duty at Klineline Pond this summer due to a nationwide lifeguard shortage that also is impacting Clark County. 

“We’ve been unable to replace most of the staff we’ve lost from the last few seasons,” program coordinator Eric Christensen said. “Turnover and attrition have put us in a position where we are unable to provide the staff needed to safely provide water surveillance and rescue services.”
