From the City of Brookhaven:

May 13, 2021

Splish, splash and keep cool this summer at one of the City of Brookhaven’s municipal pools. The pools are located at: Murphey Candler Park, 1551 W, Nancy Creek Drive; Briarwood Park, 2235 Briarwood Way NE; and Lynwood Park, 3360 Osborne Road NE. All three will open for the summer on Saturday, May 29, and will be open for specified hours daily through Sept. 6.

“We’re looking forward to operating at full capacity this summer,” said Parks & Recreation Director Brian Borden. “I encourage everyone to come out and enjoy the pools, and if you have a chance you should check out our renovated Briarwood Park pool.”

The Briarwood pool renovation was the first major City construction project utilizing a portion of the $40 million Park Bond capital improvement funds. The $3.5 million upgrade features a 75-foot long six-lane competition section and a “cool surface” pool deck featuring a new pavilion, bleachers, and umbrellas for shade.

Returning to Brookhaven’s pools this year are the popular “Dive-In Movie Nights” and “Doggie Dip Days”. The details for this year’s events will be announced at a later date.

Pool hours are:

• Mondays, Tuesdays & Thursdays: 12-6 p.m.
• Wednesdays: 10 a.m.-6 p.m.
• Fridays & Saturdays: 10 a.m.-8 p.m.
• Sundays: 1-6 p.m.
