City Pool

We are open for our 2026 season!

The Tipton swimming pool, located on the north side of the city park at 225 W. South Street, is a 50-meter pool featuring a curly water slide (height and weight requirements apply),  two water basketball goals, a 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-foot, dive well, as well as tables, chairs, shade areas, and a well-stocked concession stand. Weather permitting, the pool is open Memorial Day through the start of the Tipton Community School Corp. school year.

A maintenance responsibility of the Tipton Street Department, the Tipton swimming pool was a project of the nation’s Works Progress Administration (WPA) program. It opened in 1938, providing area residents of all ages a fun, inexpensive way to spend the warm, sunny days of summer. In 1967, the city filled the original pool with concrete and completely rebuilt the facility. A new, larger pool and bathhouse, the ones in use today, opened on Memorial Day 1968.
