Ripper Park Aquatic Center web site
The Ripper Park Aquatic Center is located at 7800 NW 30th in Bethany. Stretched over 18.8 acres, the popular Summer attraction offers the following amenities: walking trails, a soccer field, basketball goals (ed. the basketball courts have no backboards), on-site bathroom facilities, picnic tables, playground equipment, sand volleyball (ed. 12 tennis courts) and, of course, a community pool!
The facility opens Memorial Day weekend and is open 7 days a week, from 1:00 pm to 7:30 pm.
Openings for private pool parties are available from 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm and 8:00 pm – 11:00 pm every day of the week, excluding Sunday and Wednesday evenings. Pricing is contingent upon how many hours the pool is rented, if both the baby pool and main pool are needed, and how many people will be swimming, so that the City can be sure to have the appropriate number of lifeguards on duty.
