Outdoor pools
Parks & Rec maintains more than 60 outdoor pools in Philadelphia. Pools typically begin opening in late June.
Pool attire
By following our pool rules and proper attire guidelines, you’ll help us keep our pools clean and safe.
For those 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.
These lifts provide access for anyone who needs help getting into 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.
