This summer, Bloomington Parks and Recreation and IU Health Bloomington are encouraging people to embrace the heat.
Every morning, according to a press release from Bloomington Parks and Recreation, the Parks and Recreation staff will check the weather forecast, and if the numbers are expected to climb to 90 degrees Fahrenheit or above, they’ll announce a “90° Pool Day” on Facebook.
On 90° Pool Days, admission to local pools including Bryan Park Pool and Mills Pool is cut in half to encourage residents to brave hot temperatures and still enjoy time outside between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. for half the price.
Regularly, admission to these pools is $4 each day for adults and $3 for children younger than the age of 17, according to the release.
Bryan Park Pool has a daily waterslide use fee, too, of $2.50 per day. This price isn’t halved on 90° Pool Days.
Bryan Park Pool is open daily from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., according to the release. Mills Pool is open daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
To stay in the know about the next 90° Pool Day, people can check the Facebook pages of the Bloomington Parks and Recreation Department, IU Health Bloomington Community Health and IU Health Bloomington Hospital.
