UPDATE: Annual Pool Maintenance 

The annual maintenance closure at Willamalane Park Swim Center is extended until October 5. Here are the important updates: 

  • Willamalane Park Swim Center will be closed from Sept. 1 to Oct. 5.
  • Splash will be closed from Oct. 6 to Oct. 26 
  • Swim lessons beginning the week of Sept. 29: The first week of lessons will be held at Splash instead of Willamalane Park Swim Center.

Willamalane planned a roof replacement during the annual closure, but inspections after work began uncovered additional damage that must be addressed. Splash will be open for extended hours during this closure, and updated schedules are available here.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as this essential work takes place. If necessary, dates may be extended due to unforeseen circumstances. Please check back for updates.
