Louisville Parks and Recreation will reopen three outdoor pools, Algonquin, Fairdale and Sun Valley, beginning Tuesday, July 7.  Fairdale’s pool opens at 11 a.m. Tuesday, while opening day at Sun Valley is Wednesday. Algonquin opens for the season on Thursday, July 9. Each pool will be open two days a week from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. 

The three pools will be closed on Mondays for maintenance during the 2020 season, which will end September 5. The Norton Pool, located in Camp Taylor Memorial Park off Poplar Level Road, will not open this season due to maintenance issues, primarily significant leakage.

Pools may open for additional hours and days if Louisville Parks and Recreation is able to hire additional lifeguards for the 2020 season. For more information on lifeguard classes, please click here.

All state Healthy At Work Requirements will be followed, as well as local and state guidelines that may determine when and how recreational water facilities operate. 

Patrons should continue to protect themselves and others at recreational water venues both in and out of the water by practicing social distancing and good hand hygiene. Visitors are encouraged to come wearing their swimsuits, as access to changing areas will be extremely limited. There will be no furniture allowed on the pool decks to encourage social distancing. 

**Pool users must register to swim by calling Metro Parks Aquatics at (502) 897-9949, no more than seven days in advance. All three pools will have an initial maximum capacity of 45 swimmers per two-hour session (session 1 from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. and session 2 from 2-4 p.m.) for a total of 90 swimmers each day. General admission is $2 for each patron.**
