Reserve the City Pool for your private parties this summer

Reservations for private parties at the City Pool can be made starting at 8 a.m. on Jan. 2. The City Pool is a venue to host any summer event, from a child's birthday party, a graduation, end of the school year activity or even a family reunion.

The City Pool is open to all ages, affordable and requires little to no set up. It has the capacity for 280 swimmers and features a modern zero-depth entry design with play equipment, a lap swim area, dive tank, diving board, and 137 foot water slide. It is located inside Murry Park at 97 N. Park Dr. The facility was recently renovated to include more shade and a new ADA accessible viewing deck with shade, picnic tables, and a barbecue. The new amenities can all be used at no additional cost during the rental time.

Reservations for school events can be made between May 21 and June 8. The bookings are not to exceed six hours in one day and schools must have a 30-minute break in between parties.

The general public can make reservations for private parties on Saturdays and Sundays between May 26 and Aug. 26. Hourly rates for use of the facility begin at $85 and vary based on the number of guests.

Reservations for the general public can be made online or by visiting the Heritage Center, 256 E. Orange Ave. Reservations will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis. Early booking is advised as available time slots are limited. Visit the City of Porterville website or call 791-7695, for more details.
