Both facilities are open seven days a week, through Sunday, August 18. Hours are 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. with extended hours to 8 p.m. noted for Family Swim as listed above.

Cunningham Aquatic Center is at 24th and Maiden Lane within Cunningham Park. Admission to Cunningham is $5 for visitors aged 15 and under and $6 for visitors 16 and over. At either of the pools, children aged two and under are free when accompanied by an adult.
