Karns Lions Pool

Just what the doctor ordered! ☀️💊

A major thank you to our returning sponsor, Vaughn Pharmacy, for their continued support of the Karns Lions Pool! As a trusted local staple in Powell, they’ve been taking care of Knox County health for years, and their sponsorship helps us keep our community active, healthy, and cooling off all summer long.

We love seeing neighbors supporting neighbors. 🪵🏊‍♀️

📢 ATTENTION LOCAL BUSINESSES:
Want to put your business in the summer spotlight? There is still time to grab a sponsorship banner! For a minimum $500 donation, we will print and display a 3'x4' banner on the inside of the pool fence for all our visitors to see. No extra printing fees—just pure community support and great advertising.

Only one week into the season and we’re already building an impressive lost and found collection.

Inventory your belongings before you leave and ask at the gate if you’ve left something behind.

Saturday May 30, 2026. Opening delayed until noon.

Due to weather moving through the area this morning we are delaying opening. Please check back closer to noon in case things change.

Isolated storms are possible this afternoon. Remember we are required by law to clear swimmers out of the water whenever lightening is detected in the area, even if in the distance. Water must remain clear for 30 minutes after last detection. For safety the playground is also closed during this time (metal equipment and all). The safest location in a storm is in your car or inside 4 walls.

Want to host a pool party this summer? We offer private pool party reservations Tue-Sun 6:30-8:30pm. We also offer rental of a pergola with picnic tables for parties during regular pool hours.

**SAFETY TIP!!**

Ensure your child is visible in the water with bright, contrasting swim suit colors. Think 80s neons or channel your inner Vol with bright orange—neon orange is the most visible color!

Remember, the body of water matters too. Neon pink is perfect for light-bottomed swimming pools, but in lakes, neon orange, yellow, or green stand out more.

Darker colors can show up on the bottom of a light pool but are easily mistaken for debris or shadows. Plus, the more the water moves, the harder it is to see what's below the surface. Choose neon for the best visibility!

Tuesday May 26, 2026 @ 1pm. Due to overcast skies and lack of customers, we are closing early today.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

❤️🤍💙 Memorial Day Reminder 💙🤍❤️

As we enjoy the beginning of summer, let us never forget the true meaning of Memorial Day — honoring those who gave their lives in service to our country.

We remember not just their sacrifice, but the lives they lived.

The Karns Lions Pool intends to be OPEN 10am-6pm on Memorial Day! 🏊‍♀️
Because weather conditions may change throughout the day, please continue checking our page for any updates regarding rain delays, closures, or schedule changes. ⛈️

Wishing everyone a safe and peaceful Memorial Day weekend.

Sunday May 24, 2026 3:55pm. With thunder and lightening moving into the area and expected for most of the rest of the afternoon, we are CLOSING EARLY.

We will be open tomorrow (Memorial Day), but with rain and storms in the forecast, please check Facebook for any weather announcements.

UPDATE 2:35pm: We've had no customers today, even with the rain stopped and sun out, so we are closing for the day. Let's try again tomorrow!!

---------

🌞 TODAY’S THE DAY! We are opening on a rain delay from 12–6PM! 🏊

Keep an eye on our page in case we make any additional changes to today’s schedule — there’s still a chance WE MAY CLOSE EARLY TODAY due to weather. ⛈️

As we kick off another great season at the pool, here are a few reminders to help make everyone’s experience safe and fun:

1️⃣ New summer, new staff!
Many of our concession stand workers are as young as 14, and almost all are brand new to the job. Please be kind and patient — they’re learning! (All staff except managers and Karns Lions Club volunteers are high school students.)

2️⃣ Lifeguards rule 🚨
What they say goes — for everyone. Safety first!

3️⃣ Cooler check 🧊
No glass, aluminum cans, or alcohol allowed. We reserve the right to inspect coolers. “No glass” applies to drinks, food containers, jars, dishes, etc.

4️⃣ Float policy 🌊
No outside floats except baby and toddler floats. No baby neck ring floats. No floats with glitter or confetti.
No worries — we’ve got free ring floats available for bigger kids and adults to use!

5️⃣ Covered picnic tables ⛱️
Picnic tables under the covered area are limited to ONE table per group with a 45-minute time limit during busy periods.

6️⃣ Party & group policy 🎉
Any group of 10 or more guests that includes a canopy/table setup, outside food, or decorations is considered a party and must receive pre-approval by calling the pool or stopping by in person.
