Pool rules
By following our pool rules and wearing proper swimwear, you’ll help us keep our pools clean and safe. Read the outdoor pool rules to learn what is and isn’t allowed at City-run pools.
Accessible pools for people with physical disabilities
Parks & Rec is working to make our pools accessible to those of all abilities. Pool lifts are available at some outdoor pools.
The lifts provide pool access for anyone who needs help getting into or out of the water. You sit on the lift seat and are then lowered into the pool. Wheelchair users must transfer out of their chair and onto the lift.
