Pool closure approaching this weekend at Goodman
The Goodman Pool in Madison, Wisconsin, will be closing its doors for the 2025 season after this upcoming weekend, on August 24. The closure is primarily due to staffing limitations as most lifeguards at the pool are students who are returning to school [1][2][3][4].
The decision to close the pool is a safety measure, reflecting the importance placed on ensuring the well-being of all swimmers.
In contrast, the Jeff Erlanger Sprayground at Rennebohm Park, another popular water attraction in Madison, will remain operational past August 24 and will continue its operation through September 1 [1]. The Jeff Erlanger Sprayground operates independently from the Goodman Pool, and its operation is not dependent on the Goodman Pool's staff [5][6][7].
It's worth noting that the closing of the Goodman Pool does not affect the operation of other public pools or splash parks in Madison at this time. However, all splash parks, including the Jeff Erlanger Sprayground, will remain open daily through September 1 [1].
This news may come as a disappointment to many who enjoy swimming at the Goodman Pool, but the decision to close is based on the limited availability of staff. The pool's lifeguards play a crucial role in maintaining safety, and their absence due to school returns necessitates the closure.
