“After such a challenging year for communities across Atlanta, we are grateful that we can now provide free access to the City’s pools,” said Mayor Bottoms. “We ask everyone to enjoy our recreation facilities in a safe and responsible manner.”

In line with the most recent CDC COVID-19 Guidelines, capacity is limited and masks are required upon entry and for those not swimming. There is no mask requirement for individuals actively participating in pool recreation.
