Pools and Splash Pads Open June 6
Grand Rapids public pools and splash pads open Saturday, June 6, giving you free and cheap ways to beat the summer heat.
Grand Rapids’ three public pools at Briggs, MLK, and Richmond parks, along with 15 splash pads, open June 6. Pools charge a small fee; splash pads are free. Check the city website for hours before heading out.
City pools are back, and they open June 6. It’s the day all three pools — at Briggs, Martin Luther King Jr., and Richmond parks — open their gates for the season. All 15 splash pads across the city also come back online. Show up early; the lawn chairs fill fast. For families hunting an affordable way to keep kids busy, the pools are a lifesaver. Daily admission usually costs a few bucks, and a season pass makes frequent visits a steal. Splash pads are free, all summer long. Bring a water bottle and a towel — you’re good to go. Hours haven’t been posted yet, but the city always gets the word out. Inclement weather or maintenance might shift the schedule, so keep the Parks & Recreation page handy. The wait is almost over, and June 6 is the day to finally make a splash.
