Augustus G. Brown Swimming Pool will be closed for annual maintenance beginning Saturday, May 24. The facility is expected to reopen on Monday, June 9.

This routine closure allows staff to perform important upkeep to ensure the facility remains safe, efficient, and ready for summer programming. We appreciate the community’s patience and understanding during this time.

Dimond Park Aquatic Center will be open to the public during this time. See the DPAC schedule at juneaupools.org.
