hamilton pool novatoThe long-awaited reopening of Hamilton Pool is almost here! The city announced today that the fully renovated pool will open Saturday, May 29th. It will be open through Labor Day, and possibly beyond the typical summer season.

Here is the schedule for Memorial Day weekend (May 29th-May 31st):

Public Swim 11am - 7pm
Activity Pool 10am - 7pm
Lap Swim 8am - 11am

Hamilton Pool is located on El Bonito Drive in Novato, at the former Hamilton Air Field. Today, Hamilton is largely a residential community. For further pool program and rental information please call the San Rafael Community Services Department at 485-3344.

Earlier this month, the Novato City Council unanimously approved a partnership with the City of San Rafael for Aquatic Program Services for the Hamilton Pool. San Rafael will manage the aquatic programs at the site, providing swim lessons, water exercise, lap and recreation swimming and will coordinate pool rentals. San Rafael will handle all program registrations and rental reservations, collecting fees to cover the costs of pool staff and operations. Novato will perform and cover the costs of maintenance of the site, and will incur no new costs at the site.

 This is an exciting partnership between two public agencies, who have come together to support the reopening of a valued community asset. The partnership allows the City of Novato to reopen the Hamilton Pool after investing $4.5M renovating this facility, transforming it from its weathered 1930's era condition, to a state-of-the-art pool great for instruction, deep water exercise, and recreational and rental use. The site is also home to an exciting new water play structure with a slide and lots of water spray. A shallow water pool with depths from 0" - 18" will be enjoyed by tots and children alike, and is equipped with a fun spray tunnel that even a toddler can enjoy.

Hamilton Pool will be open for the summer season from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day. Extending hours through September will be determined based on the availability of trained aquatics personnel. Updates on extended September hours will be posted here as information is available. Let's hope for terrific weather, so we all have many opportunities to enjoy this wonderful Novato public pool!

Will the pool be available to san rafael residents?  What about swimming options for my 15yr old son?  He has never wanted to swim competitively, but is there some kind of structured program for teens?  Are there other activities such as exercise rooms?
