The City of Richardson has five outdoor pools for public swimming. In addition to the main pools, the Arapaho Pool and the Glenville Pool each have a splash playground- the other three pools have baby pools. Scheduled Learn-to-Swim and Lifesaving classes are taught by Red Cross certified instructors. A fee is charged based on the individual class.
| Notice (May 28, 2010): We had a unforeseen problem with Arapaho pool today when the filters malfunctioned and blew sand all over the pool bottom, a sign that we had broken laterals inside the filters. This will unfortunately cause us great expense and several days of repair before we can open for the next weekend. So, for Memorial Day Weekend, the Cottonwood and Glenville Park Facilities will be open from 1:00 - 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. |
