⚠️ MOUNT JACKSON TOWN POOL SEASON OPENING POSTPONED! ⚠️

Sad news, Mount Jackson... due to the persistent light to moderate rain across town today and a 97% chance of rain continuing through this afternoon, we have made the difficult decision to delay today's planned opening.

Right now, it's a brisk 53°F out there with gusty northeast winds, and the damp weather is expected to linger into tomorrow. We will be tracking the weather closely and seeing how things look tomorrow morning. If the clouds break, we are fully prepared to jump right into the action!

But don't lose heart—the water is perfect, the decks are shining, and we are almost there. When the sunshine returns, your community pool will be ready to welcome you!

How to stay updated:
Please continue to stay posted, connected, and following our social media pages, or call ahead to the town pool directly if the skies look questionable before you head out.

THE OPENING DAY SPECIAL
When: As soon as weather permits (We will evaluate tomorrow morning and post updates right here!)

Admission: FREE FOR EVERYONE! Whenever opening day officially happens, admission is completely on us to celebrate the first day of summer vibes!

NORMAL OPERATING HOURS
Once the season kicks off, our regular hours will be:
Daily: 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Note: To support our amazing local swim team, the pool will close early at 4:00 PM on days when the FINNS have a home swim meet! That schedule will be posted soon.

DAILY ADMISSION PRICES
We are proud to keep summer fun affordable for the whole family:
Adults: $4
Seniors (55+): $3
Kids (Ages 6-11): $3
Kids 5 & Under: FREE (with a paying adult)
