Get Ready for Outdoor Pool Season

North Liberty’s outdoor pool is opening for the summer season Memorial Day weekend and will be open 12 to 6 p.m. May 27, 28 and 29.

On June 3 and 4, the pool will be open 12 to 4 p.m. before starting regular hours on June 7, when the outdoor pool will also be open from 12 to 9 p.m. on weekdays in addition to 12 to 6 p.m. on weekends. The first hour of each day is reserved for those with pool memberships. Entry to the outdoor pool is through the outside gate. The outdoor pool season runs through Sept. 4.

Information about entrance fees and passes and financial assistance is available here. (The splashpad at Penn Meadows Park is also open for the season.)

To check the pool’s status before you arrive, you can visit Rainout Line to find out if it’s operating normally or if weather, mechanical issue or, um, 💩 has required a closure. You can check the status at northlibertyiowa.org/poolstatus or by calling (319) 888-8348 extension 1.
