The city of Phoenix Parks, Recreation and Library Department's Aquatic Section offers many exciting and healthy activities for people of all ages and swimming abilities to enjoy.
Pools are a great place to stay cool during the hot summer days.
The Aquatic Section operates 28 pools citywide. Pools open for weekend swimming in May and expand to seven days a week from the first Monday in June through Labor Day. Deer Valley, El Prado, Paradise Valley and Starlight pools are equipped with thrilling water slides. Separate wading pools are at most locations for your little ones and many pools have diving boards.
