The Hot Spot will reopen in early 2026, after the pump room renovation project is completed.
If you get hungry while staying cool at the pool, visit our Hot Spot Cafe! We offer a variety of delicious options, including hot dogs, chicken tenders, pizza, chips, fountain drinks, snow cones, slushies, and more. Get it while it’s hot!

Lap Pool Notice:
The Lap Pool is currently closed and will reopen once the pump room renovation is completed in early 2026. Lap Swim will be held in our 4 lane Rec. Pool until the facility closes on November 17th, 2025 for the renovation. Please see our Swim Activities page for up-to-date Lap Swim hours.
Temporary facility closure begins Nov. 17 as the City invests in upgraded filtration systems
for long-term reliability and improved water quality.
The facility will reopen early 2026 and Rec. Swim will return April 4th, 2026.
