Pier Park’s outdoor pool is a neighborhood treasure. While swimmers and sunbathers from across the City and even Columbia County come to enjoy the pool, here in St. Johns we especially appreciate it. After the closure of Columbia Pool, Pier is the only pool on this side of Interstate 5 open to the public. Of course, in Portland the summer swim season is short. Portland’s outdoor pools will be open for only 9 and one-half weeks this year.
Pier Pool Opens on Wednesday, June 21st, and will close for the season on Sunday, August 27th.
