Fort MacArthur Pool

The Fort MacArthur Swimming Pool will remain closed for the 2025 summer season.

Following a recent inspection, the facility was found to have significant safety concerns due to its age and condition. Based on recommendations from the Civil Engineer and Safety teams, the pool must remain closed for the summer until critical repairs can be completed.

While this decision was not made lightly, the health and safety of our patrons and staff remain the highest priority of the 61st Force Support Squadron. We are committed to exploring long-term solutions to restore safe and reliable pool access in the future.

For alternative pool options, please see the list of local facilities below.

We appreciate your patience and understanding!
