The Epic Summer of 2023:

Coming to High Point Parks and Pools Near You

Summer has arrived, and it’s time to cool off by the water or in the water or maybe even to learn some new skills on the water! High Point Parks & Recreation offers lots of water-based recreation programs this summer.

First, though, let’s talk about those pools! After an extensive renovation process, High Point City Lake Park’s pool is open, offering a gorgeous 50-meter swimming pool, a lazy river and zero-depth entry, three water slides, a splash pad with play features and family-friendly changing rooms. Daily hours of operation are 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. Admission to the pool and water slides is $10 per person for High Point residents, $15 for non-residents and free for children ages two and under. Lap swimming is available from 7 – 9 a.m. daily; cost is $5 for High Point residents and $7 for non-residents.

Daily passes, advance tickets and season passes are available for individuals and families. Please visit www.highpointnc.gov/citylakepark for information or call the

Washington Terrace Park also offers a spacious, pool with a zero-depth entry, a waterslide and wading pool. This cool pool is open seven days a week from noon – 6 p.m. Admission is $2 per person with children ages two and under admitted free. A large accessible playground is also onsite. The Splash Pad behind Southside Recreation Center is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. This is a fantastic way to cool off quickly on those hot days and it can easily be enjoyed by younger children. There is no cost to visit this location; please note a parent must accompany children at all times.
