Four pools and 2026 prices

The city operates George Ward, Riversdale, Mayfair and Lathey outdoor pools. Their published 2026 seasons ended between August 16 and September 2. Do not treat the summer lesson-registration text as a current autumn opening notice.

The 2026 single-admission prices are $9.75 for adults aged 19 and older, $5.85 for ages six to 18, and free for children aged zero to five. Family admission is $19.50 for up to seven people with no more than two adults. Spectators still pay. Prices include applicable taxes.
