Over 25 different ideas and growth for your adventures in the warm Yakima Valley weather

Yakima Transit has teamed up with Yakima Parks and Recreation to bring you FREE bus rides this summer. With every paid admission to Lions Pool, Franklin Pool, or YMCA Rotary Aquatic Center Pools (5th North Naches in Yakima or 38 River Road in Yakima) you will receive two bus passes! One for the trip home and one for your next pool adventure.

Proceeds from the event, just before the pool closes at the end of the season, go to help the Yakima Humane Society.

Get the sunscreen ready and check the couch cushions for change because your entrance fee is only $2 for those 18 years and younger $3.75 for adults and $2.25 for those with a valid state disabled parking placard.
