We’ve had several people ask so just letting you know we’re open 7:00 AM – 4:00 PM today. We’re having food, games, and prizes from 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM.
Happy Independence Day!
Please join us for a pool party from 12:00 – 2:00 PM for food, games, and prizes! Don’t forget you can also bring guests, and if you’ve already used up your 10 guest day passes, more are always available for $5 each.
In other news, we now have hot water in the showers thanks to Pool President BT’s boiler handywork.
The other day, we had an accident in the pool and had to close early. We’ve asked staff to start posting closures on our Calendar as well as being more diligent about posting a sign on the door. Also check out the 30/30 rule on the Calendar page. It explains our policy on lightning strikes and where we get our lightning strike data.
We’ve received some comments about our bathrooms and are reminding our staff to perform more frequent checks to ensure they’re clean and stocked.
As always, thanks for supporting East Park Pool!
East Park Pool Board
Dear East Park Pool Members & Friends,
We’re thrilled to see so many families enjoying the pool this season! As our pool community grows busier, we want to ensure that the fun doesn’t come at the expense of safety. A few recent member observations have helped highlight areas where we can do better.
Reports of distracted guarding have been shared with the pool manager. All staff are being reminded of our policies around focus, professionalism, and the importance of remaining alert while on duty.
We’re compiling a clear set of pool rules and staff protocols, including expectations for off-duty conduct and guard rotations. These will be shared with members and posted at the pool soon.
We are exploring a mid-season training session to re-emphasize water safety standards and the importance of guard presence.
We’re grateful to our team of guards for keeping the pool open in a tight labor year—but we also recognize the importance of setting and maintaining high standards. We appreciate your partnership in this effort.
Thanks for supporting East Park Pool!

We love seeing kids enjoy their giant inflatables, but we must ask you only being them on Fridays. These toys require extra supervision, and limiting them to designated times ensures our guards can maintain clear sightlines and prioritize swimmer safety.
We’re excited to welcome Phillip Ortega to the East Park Pool Board! A recent member and longtime Los Alamos resident, Phillip brings over 15 years of nonprofit leadership experience, including his current role as Board Chair of JJAB. He also works with youth as the Director of Faith Development at FUMC Los Alamos. With a strong background in technology and community engagement, Phillip is eager to help us improve operations and support a welcoming pool communuty. Please join us in thanking him for stepping up to serve!
Join us at East Park Pool for our Independence Day celebration! We’ll fire up the grill at noon with complimentary burgers and hot dogs—just bring your favorite sides or swap in your own BBQ fare. Dive into pool games, enjoy festive tunes, and soak up summer fun with friends and family. Don’t forget you can purchase additional guest passes for only $5!
East Park Pool members can enroll children in two‐week lessons (July 7–18), weekdays 9 AM–11 AM. Taught by our lifeguards (10:1 student‐to‐guard ratio), these lessons build water familiarity, basic skills, and fun! During classes, pool access is reserved for students only. Cost is $50 per student. Pay by check or via PayPal. Questions? Email instructors@eastparkpool.org.
Looking for something more advanced? Join our swim team! Visit eastparkpool.org/team or email coaches@eastparkpool.org for details.
If you haven’t picked up your ID card yet, our guard room staff can print or email it to you. Also please make sure your email and emergency contact information is up to date so we can communicate with you when there’s closures, etc.

We’re thrilled to announce the 2025 summer season at East Park Pool! The pool will be open from the weekend before Memorial Day through the weekend after Labor Day, with hours from 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM daily. Whether you just want to relax or get your laps in, we’ve got something for everyone: leisure pool, 25-meter swim lanes with dedicated lap swim times, wading pool for the little ones, high dive for thrill seekers, and spacious deck area with plenty of lounge chairs and covered patios for birthday parties. We also have special events like Floaty Fridays and dive-in movies. We’re also hiring instructors for swim lessons.
We offer annual individual memberships ($405) and family memberships ($575) which includes everyone in your household, grandparents (or grandkids), and babysitters. Teachers, first responders, active military, and veterans can contact board@eastparkpool.org to receive 10% off. Get all the details and sign up online at eastparkpool.org.
We’ve been hard at work over the off-season. Last year, we upgraded critical plumbing in the pump room and pool house. This winter, we completed important roof repairs on the pool house. More pump room upgrades are coming this month to ensure everything runs smoothly on Opening Day.
Please lend us a hand during our Community Clean-Up Days: May 3, 10, and 17 from 9 AM to 2 PM. We’ll provide the tools, burgers, and sodas—just bring your energy and a smile!
East Park Pool is a 501(c)(7) nonprofit and we’re looking for new board members in all roles. If you’re passionate about keeping our pool amazing, please reach out to board@eastparkpool.org.
See you poolside!
The East Park Pool Board
Today, December 21, 2024, is the winter solstice, marking the shortest day of the year. In Los Alamos, the sun rose at 7:06 AM and will set at 4:51 PM. We made it halfway y’all! From now until June 20, the days will get longer, average temperatures will get warmer, and before you know it, it’ll be pool season!
To celebrate the occasion, 2025 memberships are on sale for $375 (individual) and $525 (family). They make a great last-minute gift to those swimmers in your life and are fully refundable until Labor Day. All memberships include 10 guest passes and family memberships are good for up to 6 people in the same family or household.
In 2024, we completed major maintenance projects in the pump room and lift station. We also hosted youth swim lessons, meets, team fundraisers, and birthday parties. We want to make East Park Pool even better in 2025, but we are entirely dependent on your membership dues to get there.
As a member, did you know you also have voting rights in shaping the future of the pool? Want to have even more impact by joining the board? Send us an email at board@eastparkpool.org.
Thanks again for your support in 2024 and see you in 162 days!
