The City reminds everyone that municipal beaches are now closed for the season, and no longer have lifeguard supervision or water-quality testing. To protect yourself and your family, please do not swim at these locations or any unsupervised waterfronts. 

If you are looking for other swimming options or fun ways to cool off, over 100 splash pads in City parks remain open until mid-September and indoor pools have many sessions for public, family and lanes swims.  With the Play Free program, children and youth and accompanying adults swim for free.
