Glenloch Pool and Splash Pad
The Glenloch pool is the city’s seasonal outdoor pool. It is closed for the rest of 2026 and will reopen in spring 2027, with hours posted then, the city says.
The splash pad next to it is free and needs no reservation. In season it is open Tuesday through Sunday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., and closes Mondays for maintenance. On Memorial Day and Labor Day it stays open and closes the Tuesday after instead. The 2026 season ended Sept. 30. Glenloch also has a playground, a skate park, lighted tennis courts and a community garden, open dawn to dusk.
Kedron Aquatic Center
Kedron has a 25-yard competition pool and a heated instructional pool with lifeguards on duty. Summer pass options for residents include a 3-month individual pass ($80) and family passes from $145 for two people; nonresidents pay double. Residents 65 and older get half off individual 1- and 3-month passes. Swim lessons are run by United Pools in six 30-minute classes; register on the United Pools lesson page. Swim meets close the pools at times; closures are posted on the open swim page.
Lake swimming
Lake Peachtree is reserved for Peachtree City residents and their accompanied guests. Swimming is allowed from the public boat launch on Battery Way. Swimmers may not be visible to boaters, so a safety boat or a highly visible flotation device is required beyond 100 feet from shore. There is no swimming in Lake Kedron, Lake McIntosh or the city ponds, according to the city’s lakes and fishing page.
