UNIVERSITY CITY, Mo. – Beginning, Sat., June 24, the University City Heman Park Pool will reopen following a nearly year-long closure due to damage caused by the July 2022 floods.
“I would like to thank the Mayor, Council and our residents for their patience as we have worked diligently to reopen the pool in a safe manner. We are excited to be able to open the pool this
summer and welcome the residents back to the beloved Heman Park Pool,” said City Manager Gregory Rose.
The pool has undergone significant repairs including all new electrical work, fencing, pool pumps and more. The total estimated cost of damages is approximately $760,000.
The pool will be open daily from noon to 6 p.m. Visitors can purchase a monthly membership to Centennial Commons, which includes admission to the pool, or a resident/nonresident ID card along with a daily admission rate that ranges from $4 to $9 per person. At this time, there will be no special lap swimming hour or swim lessons available. More information will be shared on the City’s website.
