We have come to the difficult decision that Camelot Pool will not open for the 2026 summer season due to a significant mechanical issue. During pre-season startup, the pool’s filtration tank experienced a mechanical failure and is currently beyond repair.

We will also have delayed openings for Gallagher Pool and Zorinsky Pool due to unforeseen maintenance needs. Both facilities will remain closed until all necessary repairs are completed and safety and operational standards are fully met.

We’re excited to share that Hanscom Pool will open earlier than scheduled on June 1! Please visit our website to find a full list of City of Omaha Pools: https://ow.ly/QgHq50Z4Yl4
