Pools in the Omaha area are open in the summer

OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) – It’s the unofficial start of summer: Public pools around metro Omaha are open for the season.

Whether you want to catch some rays, cool off, learn to swim or let the kids splash around, the city’s pools have several different amenities.

Elmwood, Miller and Roanoke pools have splash areas. Cryer, Elkhorn, Karen and Spring Lake have children’s pools; Gallagher, Hanscom, Miller and Zorinsky pools are equipped for small children.

Cryer, Elkhorn, Elmwood, Gallagher, Karen, Miller, Oak Heights and Zorinsky have slides for all ages. Big kids and adults will enjoy diving at most pools; all but Hanscom, Karen, Miller, and Zorinsky have them.
