Pools and splash parks are the places to be when the sun starts shining. Whether you’re looking for space for family-friendly fun, a lap to improve your endurance, or a pool deck to enjoy an afternoon of tanning, Prince George’s has got you covered.

 

Test the water at one of these 12 swimming spots in Prince George’s:
