EAST LIVERPOOL — The Thompson Park Pool’s opening date has been confirmed by East Liverpool Mayor Bobby Smith as June 17.

As they have for the past several years, firefighters from the East Liverpool Fire Department have been working to get the pool ready to open for the 2026 Season.

Chief Antony Cumo, Lt. Josh Coil and Firefighter Clayton Elliott volunteered their time to clean and prep the pool.

The pool will be opening daily, weather permitting, from 1 to 7 p.m.

Admission is $4 for students ages 4 to 17, $5 for adults 18 years of age and older and free for children 3 years of age and under.

A donation in the amount of $40,000 from the East Liverpool City Hospital Auxiliary Donor Fund has made it possible again this year for East Liverpool students in the fifth through eighth grades to enjoy the pool free this season. The donation covers a season pool pass valued at $60 to each student.

The pool passes were distributed to the homeroom teachers at Westgate Middle School and handed out to students during the first week of June.
