When Are Montgomery County Outdoor Pools Open?

From Montgomery Community Media:

The summer swim season is now under way in Montgomery County.

On Saturday morning, the county’s Recreation and General Services departments celebrated the opening of the newly renovated Western County Outdoor Pool with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The pool is located at 20151 Fisher Avenue in Poolesville.

Renovations at the pool included the construction of a new 3,160-square foot “spray” ground, and renovations of the bathhouse, snack bar and filter room. Upgrades at the site include drinking fountains, pool deck showers, restrooms and shower facilities, an accessible route to a shade structure and a new leisure pool slide.

Montgomery County Recreation has six additional outdoor pools which opened at noon on Saturday. The outdoor pools will be open weekends and holidays until June 20, when they switch to a daily schedule.
