Mayor Keller Announces City Pools Will Stay Open for Evening Hours

Mayor Tim Keller today announced City pools will remain open into the evenings on weekdays through the end of the summer. The extended hours will give Albuquerque families a safe and affordable option to get out of the house and cool off on warm summer evenings.

“We are making sure parents have safe and affordable options to keep their kids active this summer,” stated Mayor Keller. “Extending City pool hours later into the evening makes our pools more accessible for families from all walks of life, and is a great way for working parents to have some fun with their kids and cool off after a hot summer day.”

The following pools will now have evening open swim sessions: Eisenhower, Los Altos, Montgomery, Rio Grande, Sandia, Sierra Vista, Sunport, Valley, and Wilson.

The extended open swim sessions will run until 8:00 p.m. at most pools. To accommodate existing programming, each pool will have a unique weekly schedule for when it will offer evening swim times. Residents are encouraged to visit www.cabq.gov/pools for daily schedules at the City’s 12 pools and 3 spray pads.
