The City of Jacksonville’s Recreation and Community Services Department (JaxParks) will open pools for the start of the summer swim season this Saturday, June 4. The Cecil Aquatic Center will reopen today.

Last weekend, the opening of the city’s public pools was postponed due to a nationwide manufacturer recall on drain covers currently installed at the pools. After careful evaluation based on information from the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC), city officials have confirmed that the city pools’ drain covers are exempt from this recall. According to the CPSC the city’s 33 pools are exempt because each are equipped with a gravity feed drainage system.
