Several City of Omaha public pools will be open for the 2026 season, but Camelot Pool will remain closed because of a maintenance issue. Gallagher and Zorinsky are now listed with summer hours.
Camelot Pool, located at 9270 Cady Avenue, will not open for the 2026 season because of a maintenance problem that could not be fixed before summer.
Omaha Parks and Recreation had also announced delayed openings for Gallagher Pool and Zorinsky Pool while staff addressed maintenance needs. In the department’s updated calendar, both facilities are now listed with operating dates and hours.
Omaha families still have several public swimming options during June, July and part of August, with age-based admission fees, season passes and hours that vary by location.

Camelot Pool is listed as closed for the entire season on Omaha’s official list of outdoor pools.
