Who runs the City? Who runs Philly Pools?

We love them when we can get in! But when there is a problem we need to make sure the City knows so that corrections can be made!

If you have feedback about your neighborhood pool or playground, you can:

  1. Contact your individual rec centers
    Here is an alphabetical listing, or here is a listing by neighborhood)

  3. Call 311 or report a general problem (needed repairs, etc) via 311 online
  4. Contact your local City Council office
