JACKSON, Tenn. — Two pools opened to the public in the Jackson on Monday.

We have one located at Bemis Park and the other at Centennial Park,” said Whitney Billingsley, the Jackson Recreation and Parks Community Engagement Director.

It only costs $2 to swim at either location, and kids eight and under must be accompanied by an adult.
