Both recreational and select programs are available for fall and spring seasons. We may be a distance from the ocean, but there are still beaches. Atlanta Beach was the venue for Olympic beach volleyball, White Water is a fund-splashed amusement park, and crowds flock to the fun and sun at Lake Lanier islands. For residents and visitors alike, there is no lack of area pools. Residents journey down to their local municipal pool where, for a small fee, they can splash away a summer day.
Some pools have seasonal membership cards available.
Atlanta The City of Atlanta Bureau of Parks maintains 17 outdoor swimming pools and three indoor pools. Outdoor pools open in late May or early June and close in mid-August to early September. The center offers instruction, a year-round competitive swim program, public swim times, and a diving program. Two more pools in Cobb County are Sewell Park in east Cobb and Powder Springs in West Cobb. The county operates 11 pools open daily during the summer months, closing each year around Labor Day.
