After a year of extensive renovations and improvements, the City of Oxford and the Oxford Park Commission is thrilled to announce Oxford City Pool’s official reopening! Originally built in 1978, the pool has been completely transformed to better serve the community with modern amenities,
improved accessibility, and exciting new features for all ages.
The updated facility includes a brand-new, 2,388-square-foot ADA-compliant bathhouse, equipped with separate men's and women's restrooms, showers, a lifeguard station, and a convenient concessions area. A 526-square-foot open-air veranda offers guests a comfortable space to relax and enjoy panoramic views of the pool.
“This renovation represents a significant investment in the health, safety, and recreation of our community,” said Mayor Robyn Tannehill. “We’re excited to welcome families back to a facility that blends fun with functionality and reflects our commitment to inclusive, quality public spaces.”
New aquatic features have been added to elevate the swimming experience,
including:
• A 16-foot-tall tube slide
• An interactive tumble buckets
• An in-pool volleyball net
To support these upgrades, the pool now boasts an advanced stainless steel, full-
perimeter recirculating gutter system and an all-new plumbing infrastructure.
Swimmers will also enjoy the comfort and safety of a newly poured concrete pool
deck coated with a non-slip, cool deck surface.
The pool will reopen this Saturday, May 24th at 1:00 PM with a reopening
celebration to be held in July. Community members are encouraged to attend
and see the improvements firsthand.
