Stay cool with free admission this week at select Sacramento city pools

As temperatures continue to climb this summer, the City of Sacramento is inviting residents to stay cool, stay active, and enjoy everything the City’s parks and aquatic facilities have to offer. 

To help families beat the heat, Mayor Kevin McCarty is sponsoring free Family Nights at neighborhood pools across Sacramento in partnership with the City’s Department of Youth, Parks, and Community Enrichment (YPCE).

Throughout this week, residents can enjoy free admission at participating pools from 3-7 p.m., making it easy for families to cool off, spend quality time together, and experience some of Sacramento’s best community amenities.
