The pools are scheduled to open on Saturday, June 15. The hours and days of operation are yet to be announced as staff works on lifeguard scheduling. 

CitiParks has recruited, certified, and onboarded 140 lifeguards for the 2024 pool season. The final training class for lifeguards was completed at the beginning of the month.

The 15 pools that will open this weekend include: 

• Ammon

• Banksville

• Bloomfield

• Highland Park

• Jack Stack

• Magee

• McBride

• Moore

• Ormsby

• Phillips

• Riverview

• Schenley

• Sue Murray

• West Penn 

• Westwood

Three pools are not opening for the season due to maintenance and staffing issues. Due to a major renovation in Homewood Park, the pool will remain closed. Ream will not open due to a cement and liner issue, while Sheraden is undergoing a number of renovations that are required for the pool and its building. 

Pool tags will be available on opening day at all open pool entry gates. Visitors can save time by completing their application before arriving at the pool.
