When do Philadelphia pools open for the summer? Here's the schedule for 2025.
Pools across the city of Philadelphia have started to open for the summer 2025 season.
Philadelphia Parks and Recreation Commissioner Susan Slawson said more than 60 outdoor public pools will be opened this summer on a rolling basis.
"Everyone deserves a safe place to cool off during the hottest months, regardless of their neighborhood," said Slawson in the release. "Thanks to the commitment of nearly 400 lifeguards and pool maintenance attendants, we are on track to open our pools as planned this summer. The hard work of our Parks and Recreation team and city leaders ensures these spaces are safe, welcoming, and well-maintained."
The first opening will be the Hunting Park Pool in North Philly. Phase One is from June 13-22.
The city website states that all the opening times for the pools vary daily. The website also said all public pools will offer free swim lessons for children from 1-4 p.m. daily.
"Parents and caregivers are responsible for watching their children in the pool deck and following all pool rules. Any child under the age of eight must be within arms reach of their parent or guardian at all times when in the water," the city said in the release.
"As we welcome summer and mark the end of the school year, our public pools bring life to our neighborhoods. They offer a place for families to unwind, for children to play freely, and for communities to come together," said Mayor Cherelle Parker in the release. "Opening these free pools, especially in areas that need them most, reflects our commitment to joy, safety and opportunity for every Philadelphia family."
