Pool

Notice March 30 - 2019:  Pending COVID-19 orders and advisories, the pool is scheduled to open on May 23.  Please continue to consult the City’s website homepage and our social media platforms for the latest County and City COVID-19 updates.  Health and safety orders could impact the summer schedule and our scope of activities and instruction.     

The Holmes Aquatic Center is located at 3501 Lovers Lane within Curtis Park. The complex offers a 50-meter pool, a giant water slide, 3-and 1-meter diving boards and a walk-in ramp to aid handicapped accessibility. A separate pool, with an aerated fountain and shaded area is available for younger children.

Adjacent to the existing children's pool and approximately 1,500 square feet in size, a zero-depth sprayground automatically distributes water to more than 25 spray and water features so that younger children can safely spray, splash and slosh the day away.

The complex is open from May 23rd through Labor Day. The facility is available for University Park residents and those who reside in the Highland Park Independent School District only.
