OKLAHOMA CITY (Free Press) — After remaining closed at the start of summer, Woodson and Northeast community pools will open July 2 on the same odd-even schedule as the City of Oklahoma City’s two family aquatic centers.

Wednesday, the city’s Parks and Recreation department announced an updated schedule leading into the July 4th weekend updating the earlier pool schedule that had included only the two family aquatic centers but not the community pools.

Starting Friday, Earlywine Family Aquatic Center and Woodson Community Pool will open on even-numbered dates. The Will Rogers Family Aquatic Center and Northeast Community Pool will open on odd-numbered dates.

Parks and Rec announced earlier in the summer that a lack of people to work as lifeguards and other staff was the main factor in opening only two of the four pools.

Normally, by this time pre-pandemic, all four of the popular pools would have been open without any staggered schedules.

The City’s 17 Spraygrounds with splashpads have been open dawn to dusk since the beginning of the season. They will remain open until late in September.

Here is information provided by the City of Oklahoma City staff:
