The Garden Hills Pool Board of Directors authorized 640 memberships to be sold for the season, and as of 12pm on Tuesday, March 19th, 365 of those memberships had been purchased.

This is a dramatically faster rate of sales than in past years. It is expected that all memberships to the pool will be sold in the next few weeks, well ahead of the opening of the pool in May.

The Garden Hills Pool is a City of Atlanta facility operated by the Garden Hills Pool & Park Association, a non-profit, volunteer group, who sells annual memberships to provide funds to operate the pool at very limited cost to the City of Atlanta. The pool is open to the public at the mandated City of Atlanta rates of $4 for Adults, $2 for Children & Seniors during regular operating hours (http://gardenhillspool.com/pool-calendar-and-events/).

You do not need to purchase an annual membership to use the pool during regular operating hours.
