Pool

The Hillsmere Pool, located at 100 Phipps Lane, features a 6-lane, 25-meter swimming pool with a diving well and a separate wading pool. The facility also includes restrooms and showers. The field surrounding the pool offers volleyball, gaga ball, tetherball, and plenty of green space for relaxing and socializing throughout the summer.


Home to the Hillsmere Hammerheads swim team, the pool is one of the neighborhood’s favorite gathering places for families, friends, and summer events.


The pool operates daily from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day.


Note: The HSIA Board of Directors may authorize extended hours for HSIA-sponsored or sanctioned events, but under no circumstances will the pool open before 7 a.m. or remain open past 11 p.m. Any operation outside the standard season must be approved by the Board of Directors, and all standard procedures must be in place during any extended hours or season.
