KENOSHA, Wis. — Residents looking to beat the summer heat will soon have two options as the City of Kenosha prepares to open its outdoor public swimming pools for the 2026 season.
According to a city announcement, both Washington Park Pool and Anderson Park Pool are scheduled to open on June 16, providing residents and visitors with a place to cool off during the summer months.
Washington Park Pool, located at 1821 Washington Road, features a zero-depth entry pool, interactive water features, a 200-foot waterslide, a drop slide and a diving board. Anderson Park Pool, located at 8730 22nd Ave., includes a large main pool, a separate tot pool with a children’s slide, two full-size waterslides, a diving board, splash pad area, lockers and shaded seating.
The pools are expected to operate Tuesdays through Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. and will be closed on Mondays and Independence Day. Daily admission fees are typically $6 for individuals ages 3 and older, $5 for seniors 60 and older, and $3 for non-swimming adults. Children 2 and younger are admitted free with a paid adult.
In addition to the pools, the city operates several splash pads throughout Kenosha, including locations at Anderson Park, Southport Marina Park, Horizon Park and Schulte Park. (
The opening of the pools marks the unofficial start of the city’s summer aquatic season, offering families a low-cost recreational option as temperatures begin to rise.
City officials said the pools will open June 15, weather permitting.

One can barely swim at these pools due to the constant lifeguard breaks.
How about these kids take a break one at a time and keep the pool open during operating hours?
Or, stop hiring kids, and get people who actually work.
That’s the problem- no one wants to work. Everyone wants to sit at home and collect welfare. Lazy ass people
