INDIANAPOLIS — Indy Parks recently announced its summer pool schedule. Due to staffing shortages, the initial pool rollout will feature a portion of the parks department’s 17 pools. On Saturday, June 4, Indy Parks will open pools at eight parks, including Bethel Park, Ellenberger Park, Frederick Douglass Park, Garfield Park, Indy Island Aquatic Center, Perry Park, Thatcher Park, and Willard Park.

“Out of the remaining nine pools, we will continue to evaluate staffing levels and ways to get them up and running this summer,” said Phyllis Boyd, director of Indy Parks, noting that additional pools could open in June and July.
Pool admission fees have been waived throughout the summer. Residents will be able to access free pool passes at any Indy Parks Family Center or pool location, or at the Customer Service Center at Riverside Regional Park. Pool passes will be available starting this week. In order to receive a pool pass, visitors must be residents of Marion County, and adults must show their state-issued ID. Passes will be valid throughout the summer.
Beginning June 4, eight pools will be open Wednesday through Sunday with the exception of Monday and Tuesday. Pool hours are 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Gustafson Park pool is undergoing maintenance and could open after July 4th. And, Krannert Park’s pool and family center will be remodeled, resulting in the pool being closed during summer months.
