The City of Pittsburgh, through CitiParks, will open 15 City Pools on Saturday, June 17, 2023. The City recruited 145 guards to open these pools.
“I want to thank Director Vargas, and her entire team, who worked hard this year to open 15 city pools,” said Mayor Ed Gainey. “Not only are we providing a safe place for our kids to play this summer, we are also providing older kids good summer jobs that can help prepare them for future careers. I am proud of my team and the work they did to get these pools open.”
“We appreciate the community’s support in this year’s lifeguard recruitment efforts. We are encouraged with the growth of our team and being able to open 15 pools,” said Kathryn Vargas, Director, CitiParks.
The pools that are planned to open are as follows: Ammon, Banksville*, Highland, Jack Stack, Magee, McBride*, Moore, Phillips, Ormsby, Ream, Riverview*, Schenley, Sue Murray*, West Penn and Westwood. (*Banksville, McBride, Riverview and Sue Murray will operate on a 5-day schedule.)
“Our priority is opening pools so that Pittsburghers can have a safe, fun summer! We hope that the continued growth of lifeguard staff in future summers will allow us to return to full capacity that would include offering additional programs such as learn-to-swim lessons, water aerobics and swim team,” noted CitiParks Director, Kathryn Vargas.
