Bonus Beach Lifeguard Days - May 27-29
This weekend’s weather looks perfect for a day at the beach! With approved water quality, we plan to have lifeguard service at two beaches this weekend, 11am to 7pm – Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
  • Vilas, 1501 Vilas Park Dr.*+
  • Warner, 1101 Woodward Dr.*+
Due to lifeguard priorities at the Goodman Pool, and limited staffing resources, we are unable to offer lifeguard service again until Labor Day weekend, when the Goodman Pool is closed for the season. The beaches, with good water quality, remain open with many locations providing swim ropes.
*Restrooms open daily May 27 – Sept. 4, approximately 10am to 8pm.
