What to Know Before You Visit
Guests may not bring or have outside food provided by a caterer or restaurant delivered into City pool facilities. This change is designed to improve the guest experience by reducing the amount of trash left in the pool area. Dietary restrictions, food allergies and baby formula are exceptions. Guests may bring in food from home. Concessions are also available for sale at the Bad Königshofen Family Aquatic Center and the Randol Mill Family Aquatic Center.
Guests who bring in coolers that measure 20 inches by 20 inches or larger will also be assessed a fee. The cooler fee is $5 at the Howard Moore and Allen Bolden pools and $10 at the Randol Mill and Bad Königshofen family Aquatic centers. All coolers, whether hard-sided or soft-sided, will be inspected at the pool entrance. As always, glass containers and alcohol are not permitted.
