Keighley and Ilkley MP Robbie Moore is calling for more to be done to stop travellers returning to camp on land next to Ilkley Pool and Lido.
Mr Moore said concerns raised by the public about the site by Ilkley Pool and Lido led to the facility closing on Friday.
A local resident, who asked not to be named, said on Sunday 25 June she had seen staff at the pool being verbally and physically abused by teenagers believed to be from the travellers' site.
The travellers are believed to have now moved to a site in Marley, Keighley.
Robbie Moore MP said:
"Just last week, Ilkley Pool and Lido had to temporarily close due to concerns that were raised with the travellers setting up camp in the adjoining field, which resulted in swimming lessons having to be cancelled and the pool being unable to be used. This is unfair to the local community and quite frankly unacceptable. After concerns being raised, I am pleased the travellers have now moved on from Ilkley, and I will do my best to get them moved on from Marley as well. I then suggest heavy boulders are quickly put in situ to stop this ongoing occurrence."
