By now you’ve heard the news that City of Wichita Pools will be undergoing some changes and renovations in the next couple of years, but don’t worry! Eight of the nine city swimming pools will still be in operation during the summer of 2017. The Wichita pools open this year on May 29, Memorial Day. And they will still have free swimming days!

Wichita swimming pool prices
Regular Wichita swimming pool prices are only $3 for adults, $2 for children 17 and under, and $8 for a family of up to six people (at least one must be an adult).
Coupon books for Wichita pools will save you even more: 50 swims (any age) may be purchased with cash only at the swimming pools for $60, or 25 swims for $40
A season pass allows you access to ALL of the City of Wichita pools for the summer of 2017. You can swim all you want! Season passes are only $50 per individual or $150 for a family of 4 and can be purchased at OJ Watson Park or at any city pool.
The future of city pools
In a nutshell, and according to the city’s Aquatics Supervisor, the Aquatics Master Plan that was approved by the city council includes renovating and updating Harvest, Aley, and College Hill swimming pools. The other city pools, with the exception of Minisa, will become water playgrounds. The water playgrounds won’t open until 2019, but while you’re waiting you can visit one of these existing interactive fountains and splash parks in Wichita.
Thanks so much for posting this! I wasn’t necessarily looking for the free days but just information about the city pools in general!

Who doesn’t love free stuff!
According to the city website, yes.
