Upper Arlington's swimmers will be pleased to know that the outdoor pool season at Devon Pool is splashing past its usual end date. The Upper Arlington Parks & Recreation department announced an extension of pool hours, pointing to an abundance of available summer staff as the reason for this sunny-day bonus. According to an announcement on the City of Upper Arlington's official website, local residents can take advantage of extended hours from August 11 to 29, making the dog days of summer a bit more bearable with a refreshing dip.
For those looking to jump-start their day with a splash, adult lap swim and water walking sessions will be available weekdays from 6:30 to 10:30 am. However, pool passholders should note that these added hours are exclusive to the Devon Pool—access to the indoor pool at the Bob Crane Community Center is not included, a detail that might slip past casual readers of the seasonal Activity Guide.
Additionally, Upper Arlington is treating its residents to an extra week of Open Swim. From August 11 to 15, the pool will open its lanes for evening swims between 4:30 and 6:30 pm, an inviting option for both passholders and daily admission guests alike. This initiative offers the community more flexibility to cool off after work or school.
Weekend warriors need not worry about disruptions to their leisurely swim schedules—the weekend hours are making no waves and will persist through Labor Day. This includes 11 am to 6 pm slots from August 16 to 31, and a final splash on September 1 from noon to 6 pm.
