😢We’re sad to see the season end and we know that you are too, but we’ll be back next summer for more splishing and splashing!

Get your last splash in! The final day of operations are:
🌊Sunday, Sept 6: outdoor pools.
🌊Monday, Sept 7: spraygrounds.

This summer our two outdoor pools counted more than 50,000 gate entries serving residents of Tacoma and beyond. We were thrilled to open both pools seven days a week this year, even in the rain, and provide outdoor swim lessons for youth.
