Tot pool now open!

🏊‍♀️☀️ Recreation Update! ☀️🏊‍♂️

We are excited to share several updates from the City of Santa Fe Recreation Division:

💦 The Bicentennial Tot Pool is now open following the completion of boiler repairs.

🏊 Fort Marcy Pool will open beginning Monday, June 8, 2026! The pool will be open Mondays and Wednesdays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., providing another great option for staying active and cooling off this summer.

🛁 Repairs to the hot tub at the Genoveva Chavez Community Center (GCCC) have been expedited, and we are hopeful it will reopen sooner than originally anticipated.

🌊 Repairs to the GCCC waterslide are also underway. To help minimize disruptions, the slide will be available periodically during peak hours while work continues.

Thank you for your patience as we make these improvements and work to keep Santa Fe's recreational facilities safe, enjoyable, and accessible for all. We look forward to seeing you at the pool this summer! 😎☀️
