Indoor Pool to re-open Monday

The Oak Ridge Outdoor Pool will closed for the season on Monday, August 12, and the Indoor Pool will re-open Monday, July 29, after being closed for a few months for renovations.

The last day the Outdoor Pool will be open is Sunday, August 11, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. for open swim, the City of Oak Ridge said in a press release.

The Puppy Pool Party, marking the official end of the season, is set for Saturday, August 17, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Before then, on August 7, the Outdoor Pool will be closed from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. for Senior Citizen Day. Open swim will still take place from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m., but there will be no morning swim that day. More information is posted at OakRidgeTN.gov/news.

The city said the Outdoor Pool hours have been reduced as the season winds down. To view the schedule, visit OakRidgeTN.gov/OutdoorPool.

“Please note that morning swim from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. is 100-meter lap swim only,” the press release said. “In addition to closing early or temporarily due to thunder and/or lightning, the pool may also close due to low participation.”

The renovations to the Indoor Pool were to upgrade the sprinkler system.

For questions or more information, call the Oak Ridge Recreation and Parks Department at (865) 425-3450.

More information will be added as it becomes available.
