Opens Friday, June 9, 2023
Goodman Pool hosts the 2023 All-City Swim Meet July 27-29. The pool is closed July 21 - July 31.
Madison's first municipal swimming pool became a reality in 2006. Long-time community members and philanthropists Irwin A. and Robert D. Goodman kicked off the project by donating $2.8 million. They wisely put some strings on the donation - the groundbreaking for the pool needed to be in July 2005. With that as incentive, the City and the Madison Parks Foundation dove into action. The pool is officially named in their honor.
