Leisure Pool Schedule: Summer

As a DCRC member, you know swimsuit season is year round! The City of Dublin’s Recreation Services staff members are excited to welcome back the community to the two outdoor pools, as well as continuing to operate the two indoor pools at the Dublin Community Recreation Center.

Our highest priority is your safety and providing an enjoyable experience. In order to accomplish this and optimize our available staff relative to customer needs, we will have adjusted hours at our pool facilities this summer season, so know before you go!

Visitors should check the operating hours for the indoor (linked above) and outdoor facilities prior to going to the pool. Availability of certain amenities at each facility may be altered on a daily basis.

The following are this summer season’s adjusted pool hours and may be subject to change, so again, know before you go!
