It’s officially summertime in Macon-Bibb County, which means several recreation pools and splash pads are getting ready to open for the season on Saturday, May 23.

Pools at Frank Johnson Recreation Center (2227 Mercer University Drive), Delores A. Brooks Recreation Center (3326 Ocmulgee East Boulevard), and South Bibb Recreation Center (7035 Houston Road) will be open Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. and Tuesdays through Fridays from 1:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m.

The pool at Booker T. Washington Community Center is currently awaiting an inspection and is expected to open later next week. An official opening date will be announced once it meets requirements.

Splash pads at South Bibb Recreation Center and Freedom Park (3301 Roff Avenue) will also open Saturday, May 23, and will operate on the same schedule as the pools throughout the summer.

Pool admission is $1, and children must be accompanied by an adult.
