Kids love to play in water and there is nothing better than a dip in the pool to beat the Florida heat! If you’ve been searching for local public pools near me<\/em> or splash pads near me<\/em> and you are in Central Florida, we can help you find places to get wet and cool off this summer. We’ve got plenty of local swimming pools and splash pads here in Lakeland and across Polk County that are open to the public. Some pools are open seasonally and others are open year-round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We often hear from people looking for free swimming and free public pools. Most of the pools in our area require a small admission fee, and season passes are typically available for multiple visits. If you’re looking for free swimming near you, try a local splash pad near you instead – splash pads are usually free.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
