The pool’s date of opening and closing is determined by pool attendant availability, as most are college students returning to school in late August.

The wading pool is generally open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Hours of operation are weather dependent.

Parking is available on the public streets surrounding the park. There is no restroom in this park, but there is a port-a-john.
