We will be OPEN for Memorial Day weekend at the Beach from 12-6pm, May 25-27, and we are open for regular summer hours June 1-July 28.

NEW this summer:

Pool renovations at Enze Pool included a NEW pool deck, shade structures, plastered pool floor, diving blocks and more! Swim lessons and the Dolphins summer swim league team will get to utilize the new pool, as well as our brand new swim clinic! All programs are available for online enrollment.
Stroke and Turn Development Clinic is our brand new instructor-led swim clinic designed to improve stroke mechanics and provide lap swim workouts. This will be available Monday-Thursday from 2-3:45pm in June and July. Register online today!

Did you know you can rent our aquatics facilities for your private event? Rent the beach or the beach gazebo at the lake, or rent our indoor pool at Hutchins Street Square for your next party!

Dream Big for Hale Park - We need your input!

Hale Park is Lodi’s oldest park and one of its busiest, serving families and people of all generations. But it’s aging and may not meet the neighborhood’s needs. What is your vision of Hale Park and what role should it take in the community?

A State of California grant program could make your vision a reality. Proposition 68, a $4 billion measure passed by California voters in June 2018, includes $255 million for local park acquisition, expansion and upgrades through a competitive grant program.

Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services begins a series of public outreach events at Hale Park on May 22. Tell us what you want Hale Park to be. Once we understand the community’s vision, we’ll develop some final concepts with your help and submit an application for funding.

Your voice is important in this process, and will help us deliver an application that has broad community backing. With potential funding of up to $8.5 million per project, Prop 68 presents an opportunity we can’t pass up!

We look forward to seeing you – and hearing your suggestions – at an upcoming workshop!

All meetings will be held at Hale Park with a Spanish language interpreter:

Wednesday, May 22 from 1-2pm (Concept & Workshop Meeting)
Thursday, May 23 from 6-7pm (Concept & Workshop Meeting)
Wednesday, May 29 from 4:30-7:30pm (Project Proposal)
Saturday, June 1 from 12-1pm (Project Proposal)
Saturday, June 8 from 12-1pm (Project Proposal)

WE WANT YOUR INPUT

Come join the City of Lodi for a community meeting regarding the development of the DeBenedetti Park Master Plan. The topic is an agenda item that is part of the regularly scheduled Parks and Recreation Commission meeting. An overall project summary, including project background, plan development process and outreach efforts will be shared. The Draft Final Plan will emerge from the public input received on at a workshop held on May 8 and will be presented to the Commission for additional public input and a final recommendation.

WE HOPE THAT YOU WILL JOIN US
