The City of Charleston Parks and Recreation Department has made the difficult decision not to open Cato Park Pool for the 2026 summer season. Community members are encouraged to utilize the City’s other public pool facilities, including the Martin Luther King, Jr Community Center pool and North Charleston Community Center pool, both of which are currently open. The Kanawha City Community Center pool is expected to open later this week.
