These summer pools are only open May 30 to August 1 (a little over 2 months) but it’s certainly better than before when the pools were closed. Admissions fees are only $2 adults, $1 (17 and under). Refer to the online program guides for summer pool pass fees.

And thanks to the generosity of these organizatons and individuals to make this happen in the long HOT Tucson summers.
