Pittsburgh, PA – The City of Pittsburgh has released the schedule and operating hours for the final few weeks of the Summer 2026 CitiParks outdoor pool season.
“Keeping our pools open and accessible throughout the summer takes an incredible amount of work from our lifeguards, aquatics staff and teams across the City,” said CitiParks Director Eric Sloan. “As many of our seasonal staff return to school, we’re adjusting our schedule while continuing to provide opportunities for residents and families to enjoy our pools through Labor Day. We’re grateful to everyone who helped make this a safe, welcoming and successful summer at pools across Pittsburgh.”
CitiParks Pools will remain on their current schedule through Sunday, August 16, 2026. On Monday, August 17, 2026, CitiParks will reduce the number of open pools and adjust operating hours as many lifeguards head back to school.
The City will continue its aquatic programming into the fall and winter with the reopening of Oliver Bath House on Tuesday, September 8—please check the website for updated hours.
“We were proud to open 17 pools across Pittsburgh this summer, including the long-shuttered Homewood Pool, while also making improvements to the pool experience with new chairs and loungers in all of our outdoor facilities,” said Mayor Corey O’Connor. “As the outdoor season winds down, we’re keeping six pools open through Labor Day. With aquatic programming also returning to Oliver Bath House in September, Pittsburghers will have opportunities to stay active in the water well into the fall.”
Six pools will maintain operating hours through Labor Day (September 7):
