💦 Splish Splash
It’s no secret summers in North Carolina are hot! We rounded up Winston-Salem’s pools and splash pads so you can spend less time sweating and more time cooling off.
Little Creek Splash Pad
🩱8 Public Pools: Bolton Pool and Winston Waterworks are open for the season! Both have concessions.
Opening May 30: Kimberley Park, Long Creek, Parkland, Polo, and Reynolds Park pools (Long Creek has concessions).
Mineral Springs Pool will open on June 8.
Tips & savings:
Grab a pool pass if you plan to go more than once. Kids get a discount on Tuesdays and Thursdays, excluding Bolton and Long Creek.
Bolton Pool features Olympic-sized swimming lanes + multiple diving boards! This is the city’s most popular pool, so expect there to be crowds.
Winston Waterworks has a waterslide and a lazy river!
Fees (cash or card): Infants free | Ages 3–17: $3 | Adults: $5 | Seniors: $5 or free with senior ID
💦 10 Public Splash Pads: All splash pads are open for the season!
All are free except Polo Park Splash Pad, which requires an entry fee.
Good to know:
Sprague Street Splash Pad is the newest addition — it features a slide!
Hathaway Splash Pad is open, but note that the surrounding park is still under construction.
Save the date: Fun in the Sun Jam at Sprague Street Splash Pad on July 25, 4–8 PM!
🏊 New This Year: Senior Swim has been renamed Adult Fitness Swim.
Open to anyone 18+ looking to get a workout in the water at Bolton, Parkland, and Polo pools. Sessions are $5 (in addition to entry fees) and run Monday–Friday, 11 AM – 12 PM.
⚾️ Celebrate the end of the school year the right way — at the ballpark!
Wednesday: Kids eat free with the purchase of any adult meal.
Thursday: $2 drafts all game long plus Pups in the Park — bring the whole family, four-legged members included.
Friday & Saturday: Watch a live performer juggle real chainsaws, then stick around for postgame fireworks during Hype Hens rebrand weekend.
Sunday: The dinosaurs are taking over the ballpark! Plus, meet special guests from the Kernersville Reptile Zoo, snag pregame player autographs, and stick around for a postgame catch on the field.
Start summer off right! Purchase your tickets in advance and save.*
