All Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation aquatic facilities open for summer starting Saturday, May 26 for Memorial Day weekend.

Most of the aquatic centers and leisure play pools offer features such as aquatic playgrounds, giant water slides, beach entry into the pool, picnic areas and more.

“We look forward to this time every year because we know youngsters and even adults are anxious to hit the water,” said Christine Greenfield, Parks and Recreation Aquatics coordinator. “Swimming and playing in the water are good for you physically and mentally and generally enhance your quality of life. We’re proud that our pools are accessible to people with disabilities and offer safe, supervised swimming for all ages.”

The Splish Splash Interactive Fountain is a new feature at E.E. Robinson Park in Sugar Hill. The free, interactive fountain will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., except for Wednesdays when it’s open from noon to 8 p.m. The fountain is unsupervised and may be closed at any time for maintenance or weather conditions.

To ensure everyone is safe and enjoys the water, the Parks and Recreation staff offer private, semi-private and group swim lessons for all ages.
