🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️Please read entirely, before acting. 🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️

Wow! We are grateful for everyone who has signed up to receive the pool notifications - so much so we've maxed the group out!

With that said, we have created a second one - it will contain the exact same information as the first so if you have already signed up for the original one that was shared yesterday, please do not sign up for the second one.

The second code is to allow those who could not get in on the first group a chance to receive those same notifications.

The second group code is:

Text to 81010 - message and data rates may apply

We were excited to open the pool for you yesterday for the season, however with Mother Nature today we cannot open due to the incoming storms.

To stay up to date with any future closings sign up for notifications by texting to 81010 to sign up (message and data rates may apply).

Pool Post!!!

We are a week away from the pool opening for the season (weather permitting of course).

Pool passes will go on sale starting today! Prices have not changed from previous years, HOWEVER - when coming in to purchase a pass (at City Hall only) these need to be purchased by an adult (18+).

We do have the form on our website if you would like to pre-fill and bring it in to save a little time.

Also, starting next week Tuesday will be water aerobics from 11:30-12:15. Those will be on Tuesday and Friday, with the exception of a couple of dates - listed on the flyer.

Pool passes will go on sale starting Tuesday, June 2nd at 8 AM at City Hall.

Tentative pool opening is Tuesday, June 9th at 1 PM, weather permitting. We understand that that this is a little later, however we had to ensure we had staff hired and trained before we could open! We have a lot of new staff this year so please be sure give them some grace but also thank them for stepping up and helping us get the pool open, without them this isn't possible.

Please help spread the word to work on educating so we can ensure everyone remains safe!

The Medford Police Department has been receiving a growing number of citizen complaints regarding the operation of e-bikes (and similar devices) in a careless manner within the community.

As a result, you may see increased enforcement efforts moving forward to help ensure the safety of all residents, pedestrians, and riders.

We encourage parents and operators to familiarize themselves with applicable laws and to contact us with any questions regarding legal operation within the City.
