- Mondays: Belmont and Eden pools
- Tuesdays: Arnold Heights and Eden pools
- Wednesdays: Irvingdale pool
- Fridays: Arnold Heights, Ballard, Irvingdale and Woods pools
The free sprayground at Trago Park at North 22nd and “U” streets is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. seven days a week through Labor Day. The sprayground at Woods Park at South 33rd and “J” streets has the same hours and admission fee as the Woods Pool.
