Pool Season Is Now Fully Underway In Dearborn

DEARBORN, MI — It's time to make a splash in Dearborn as pool season gets into full swing. Mark your calendars for June 14-15 when three neighborhood pools open.

Ten Eyck Pool will open Friday, June 14, featuring open swimming daily from 1-6 p.m.
Beginning Saturday, June 15, Lapeer and Summer-Stephens will open, also offering open swimming daily from 1-6 p.m.

Dunworth Pool, which opened May 25, offers open swimming weekdays from 4-7 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 12-6 p.m. through June 13. Dunworth Pool will host the prestigious U.S.S. Swim Meet June 14-16, and consequently, will not have open swimming these three days. Spectators, however, are welcome. Starting June 17, Dunworth Pool will feature open swimming weekdays from 1-8 p.m. and Saturdays, Sundays and holidays from 12-8 p.m.

Ford Woods Pool, which has undergone deconstruction and a complete rebuild—resulting in a more modern and expansive facility with additional amenities—is scheduled to open later this summer.

Lapeer, Summer-Stephens and Ten Eyck Pools are scheduled to close for the summer August 11 at 6 p.m.

Beginning Aug. 12 and continuing through September 2, Dunworth Pool will offer open swimming weekdays from 4-7 p.m. and Saturdays, Sundays and Labor Day from noon to 6 p.m.

City officials say to check with the specific pool for more information concerning its schedule of operation.
