Pro Tips

  1. 1.Arrive early on Saturday when they open at 1:00 PM to secure shaded seating areas and avoid the peak afternoon crowds

  3. 3.Sign up for swimming lessons well in advance as they fill up quickly during peak summer months
  4. 4.Pack water shoes for kids as pool decks can get extremely hot in the afternoon sun
  5. 5.Check their social media or call ahead to confirm hours, as seasonal pools sometimes adjust schedules based on weather or staffing
