Just a reminder the Splash Park features are currently not working. The Company that will be coming to look at them is not going to be here until mid June.

So if toys get thrown up in the bucket, well their not coming back down. Nor off the roof of the building.

Moving forward, all food and drink will be consumed outside of the Splash Park.

Thank you.

You know your a pool girl when you remember the four princesses from last summer who loved my pink flamingos and unicorns. Get ready Layla, Kadence, Sawyer Thorpe and Lakyn! I got you girls covered!

People have asked what to get or how to help at the pool. We do take monetary donations to help local families get a pool pass, and I always recommend doing that at the City Office. I just went through the tub and we can always use toys like the flamingos and unicorns. The girls also love any type of princess stuff. The boys love the sharks and pengiun or any type of dive toys. Goggles are always needed, and the ones with the clip are super. I bought a couple hundred dollars worth this winter but that only gets a girl 20 pairs.

I will say a water football because the boys love one but they tend to get girls smacked in the side of the head for attention. ;) My guards will shake their heads at me when they read this. Lol.

Hobby Lobby has everything 50% off right now.

Can you tell I am excited for hot summer days and pool nights?

Big Pool will open for the season on Monday, June 1, 2026!

Pool hours will be as follows: Monday through Thursday: 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, Adult Swim from 5:00 PM to 6 PM; Night Session: 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Friday: 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Big Pool will be closed Saturday and Sunday.

Passes and Pool Consent Forms are available at City Office, or you can print the Consent form that is pinned on this page. If you wish to purchase a pass at the pool, this can be done on opening day. We will have consent forms on hand.

If there is not a Pool Consent on file with City or Pool Office, then they will not be admitted in. This is the same procedure we have used for the last 5 years.

We do not have a date for swimming lessons yet. As soon as we do, we will post.

Calleigh Chicoine will be teaching water aerobics for adults from 5:15 PM to 5:45 PM Monday thru Thursday starting June 8. You will just need to have a season pass to do water aerobics or pay the daily pass fee, which is $5.00. Anyone that does not want to do water aerobics but just wants to come swim or walk the pool without the kiddos around is welcome to from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM Monday thru Thursday, this also requires either the daily pass fee or you can buy a season pass.

Sweet Summer....Toby the vacuum man is in cleaning the big pool! And I may have found Timmy G in thermometer form....ie: crabby patty. 🤭 But in all honesty our City is so BLESSED to have Tim, Dustin, and David to work on the pools and get them going. Yesterday Tim and Dustin finished filling the big pool and today flipped the switch, did some plumbing work and Tim put Toby in to start cleaning! Next week some of the guards will start putting the rest together!

Splash Park will be open as long as it hits 70! I had it open today and will watch the temperature tomorrow!

The City of Onida received grant funding from BankWest, in partnership with Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (FHLB Des Moines) through their Member Impact Fund. The City of Onida will use these funds for pool rehabilitation.

The City is so very grateful and excited to receive such support from everyone on the pool renovation.

THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!
