The end of pool season
Labor Day weekend is the last of the summer swim season. In 2026 the city’s four free splash pads (Dixon, Edith Pettus, Heritage and Lettie Kendall parks) ran May 18 to Sept. 6, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily, according to the aquatics page. In 2025 the city switched New Providence and Swan Lake pools to weekend-only public swim in August, with the last public swim on Labor Day, as Clarksville Now reported. Our summer camps and pools page has addresses and prices.
