Update: closed again as of 8/5/22 due to fire damage

Just in time for our latest round of high temperatures this summer, the Warren G. Magnuson Park wading pool has been repaired!

Seattle Parks and Recreation is installing a fence over the wading pool to deter future nighttime vandalism. We have also launched a messaging campaign to help spread the word on protecting our parks.

The Magnuson Park wading pool is scheduled to be open daily, 12:15pm to 6:30pm through Labor Day. See our full wading pool schedules here.
