Just in time for summer Last Chance Splash is open for the season. Thanks to federal funding left over from pandemic dollars in the American Rescue Plan Act from the Helena City Commission, the pool, at 1203 Last Chance Gulch, is now open through Aug. 18. The pool was facing a more than $100,000 increase in operating expenses from previous years and an anticipated $80,000 shortfall. The city commission approved the spending of ARPA funds on the pool to maintain hours and staffing levels.
