“We are excited to provide residents outdoor pool options in addition to our indoor pools to close out the summer season,” said DPR Director Thennie Freeman. “The locations that will remain open were selected to be most equitable to residents with one pool on both sides of the city and all DPR spray parks.”

The following outdoor pools will remain open six days a week, from 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m., until Sunday, September 22:

· Hearst Pool (3701 37th Street, NW)
