Good to know
Outdoor pool; closed for the remainder of 2026, reopening in the 2027 pool season.
The City of Colorado Springs has closed the bridge for rehabilitation near Cache La Poudre Street and Mesa Road; see https://coloradosprings.gov/CacheLaPoudreBridge for access guidance.
A YMCA membership does not include the outdoor pools; members and nonmembers both need either a pool pass or a day pass.
Day passes must be paid by credit card or exact cash only; no change is provided.
Outdoor pools use block scheduling; the pool is cleared at the end of each block and re-entry is not guaranteed.
The listed facility hours (Fri–Sat 10 a.m.–6 p.m., Sun 12–6 p.m.) are the summer 2026 outdoor pool hours; the pool is currently closed for the season.
The page also lists center hours (Mon–Sat 10 a.m.–6 p.m., Sun 12–6 p.m.) and a separate weekly schedule showing Monday closed, Friday 10 a.m.–6 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m.–6 p.m., Sunday 12–6 p.m.; these appear to be building/center hours rather than pool hours.
The pool status page was last updated September 7, 2026 and shows Monument Valley Pool as Closed.
