Blairsville, GA – The Union County Recreation Department is gearing up for the summer season with the highly anticipated reopening of Meek's Park Pool on Monday, June 1, 2026.

Pool hours will run daily from 12:00 PM to 5:30 PM, offering families and residents plenty of time to enjoy the refreshing waters. General admission is set at $6 per person, with children 4 years old and under entering free of charge.

Pool parties and season passes will be available for purchase starting bright and early on Thursday, April 16, 2026, at 7:30 AM at the Union County Sports Center.
