Pools in Bottrop: One shuts down, another begins operation, while a third commemorates.
The Bottrop Sports Park's indoor pool will be undergoing a deep cleaning from August 4 to 24, 2025, resulting in its temporary closure. The pool will reopen on Monday, August 4, after a three-week hiatus.
During the closure period, the Kirchhellen Indoor Pool will remain unavailable for public use. Although specific opening hours for the sports park's indoor pool after the deep clean are not yet available, it is expected to resume with adjusted hours.
Meanwhile, the Stenkhoff Pool will continue to operate with some changes. The Mobility Track will be set up at the Stenkhoff Pool on Monday, August 4. The pool will also host a Family Festival on Sunday, August 3, and a water slide will be available from the coming Sunday, August 3, for one week.
It is important to note that the special attractions, such as the Family Festival and water slide, are separate from the regular activities at the Stenkhoff Pool. Usage of the water slide will incur an additional charge.
