The Mountlake Terrace Recreation Pavilion pool (5303 228th Street SW) will reopen beginning Monday, November 23, 2020 on a limited basis. Hours of operation will be 7:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday for lap swimming, water walking or suspended individual water running or exercise.
To participate, patrons must first call (425) 776-9173 during the aforementioned hours and make a reservation, as attendance is limited to comply with the state’s COVID-19 regulations.
Lap swimming will be permitted for two swimmers per lane, with five lanes available. Three individuals may participate in the lazy river for water walking and two people may participate in individual exercise in the deep area. Sessions will last one hour with 15 minutes in between sessions for sanitizing equipment and hard surfaces.
This schedule is temporary as the city is working on staffing and compliance with state regulations. Information about the pool schedule as well as any changes is available at www.mltrec.com/531. Changes will be announced on the city’s social media sites (“Mountlake Terrace Recreation & Parks” and “City of Mountlake Terrace Government” on Facebook, “CityofMLT” on Twitter, and “mltrecreation” on Instagram) in addition to our website at mltrec.com.
Swimmers should arrive in their swimming attire ready to swim to limit the use of the locker rooms. Lockers will not be available; swimmers should bring bags for their belongings to store on deck. Locker rooms will be available for showering before entering the pool only, as well as the restroom facilities. The on-deck shower is also available to use before entering the pool. Patrons must wear masks over your nose and mouth while in the building until entering or leaving the water but are not required while in the water.
The Pavilion will be closed on Thursday, November 26 and Friday, November 27 for the Thanksgiving holiday. Pavilion phones will not be staffed until 7:00 a.m. on Monday, November 23. In the meantime, questions can be emailed to mltrecreation@mltwa.gov for responses during business hours, Monday through Friday.
