Okmulgee County Family YMCA

Okmulgee County Aquatics Park to open Tuesday.

Message from the Okmulgee YMCA:

Okmulgee YMCA Aquatics Park 2021 Opening!

Once again we apologize for not being able to open our Aquatics Park on May 27th 2021 as we hoped. We had a multitude of issues with being able to open the park safely. Thank you for your patience.

Our staff has been working what seems like 24/7 to get the pool safe to open and we are pleased to announce we will open Tuesday, June 1st. Our hours of operation and activities can be found at okmulgeeymca.org or call the help desk at 918-756-6677.

Please note the pumps that supply water to our slides and mushrooms are not operational. This is a major repair and will take some time. Until those are repaired we are discounting our admission price Members= $1.00 Non-Members- $2.50.

If you have a Birthday Party scheduled during the time our slides/mushrooms are not operational we would be glad to work with you on rescheduling or providing a discount.

Look forward to seeing you again at the YMCA pool!
