We're excited to welcome Jul Big Green to this year's Juneteenth Pool Party! Featured in Variety Magazine and Cleveland Magazine, Jul Big Green is a genre-blending artist who combines Pop with Hip-Hop and Rock elements. The party starts tomorrow, June 19, at 1 pm, but he'll be on the pool deck from 3–5 pm, creating the perfect soundtrack for an afternoon of summer fun.

Take your shot at dunking a lifeguard in our dunk tank, grab a snack from the concession stand, and enjoy a day at the pool with family and friends. Plus, the first 25 kids through the gate will receive a free Parks & Recreation swag bag!

Come celebrate Juneteenth—a day that honors freedom, resilience, and community—with us at Thornton Park Pool!

We appreciate their efforts to keep our green spaces looking great, especially in advance of Memorial Day weekend. Thank you Nick, Melvin, and Cole!
