The Hillsboro Family Aquatic Center is a facility which was opened in 2006 with several amenities such as a zero depth entry access, a two story high slide, two 1 meter diving boards and toddler play area with slides and spray features.
Our Season consists of opening up on Memorial Day through Labor Day. The swimming hours will start with open swim (Monday – Friday) from 1 PM to 5 PM. Lap swim is scheduled for 5 PM to 6 PM. Each day will conclude with a public swim time from 6 PM to 9 PM. Pool hours on Saturday are 1 PM to 7 PM and on Sunday from 2 PM to 7 PM. Swim season ends in August—not because it gets too cool to swim but because our life guards start doing their fall high school and college activities. We also see a marked drop off in attendance once school starts. We will still do pool parties and weekend swim through Labor Day.
