What We Are Working On
See below the various events, projects, and activities supported by Live Well Mendota.
The Mendota Pool will unfortunately not open during the 2026 season. Due to this, Live Well Mendota is hosting many activities to provide a fun, active, and memorable summer for kids.
Check out the Summer Activity page for opportunities. Programs will range from one-hour events to multi-week sessions, with options for a variety of ages and interests. Also check out the Mendota Area Chamber of Commerce calendar for all summer activities.​
