Free Swimming for Pittsburgh Youth

PITTSBURGH — During the Summer of 2023, the City of Pittsburgh is making pool access even easier for Pittsburgh youths.  Previously a Recreation Center Membership Tag was needed for Pittsburgh children to access pools for free.  This Summer, the Rec Membership Tag is being waived and all Pittsburgh children 15 and under will be granted free entry to CitiParks swimming pools.

"It’s all about the children and giving them opportunities for a safe, fun summer,” said Mayor Ed Gainey.  “Whatever we can do to make our youth thrive allows our great City to continue to be a safe, welcoming, and thriving place for all.”

“We love being able to offer free swimming to Pittsburgh youth. And now, without needing a Recreation Center Membership, families can head straight to the pools and enjoy their summer,” noted CitiParks Director, Kathryn Vargas.

Season Passes are still available for purchase for City adult residents.  Non-residents of Pittsburgh are also able to purchase season tags.  Full details and the 2023 Pool Tag form are available here:  https://pittsburghpa.gov/citiparks/tags-fees
