The Waldbad will open for the swimming season on May 10

Preparations are in full swing, and we have a few new highlights in store for you!

The countdown is on: On Sunday, May 10, we’ll be opening the gates to the Waldbad Günzburg. The facilities and grounds are currently getting their final touches, and a summer full of highlights awaits you.

Following last year’s redesign of the forecourt and the opening of the new entrance area, this year’s focus has been on enhancing the overall visitor experience. You can look forward to some exciting new additions, particularly in the food court and on the playground: new play equipment, such as curling on summer lanes and the skittle-like “Trick-Pin,” now offer a variety of fun activities. Investments were also made for our youngest visitors; a new carousel and a fresh sandbox enclosure are sure to make children’s hearts beat faster.

Special attention was also paid to accessibility and comfort for all visitors. Thanks to the tremendous dedication of the Friends of the Waldbad, a new shower wheelchair and a special shower stretcher were purchased. These important additions significantly improve the facilities for people with disabilities and underscore the Waldbad’s commitment to being a place of relaxation for everyone.

Lothar Böck, CEO of Stadtwerke, is thrilled: “Our goal is to make the Waldbad a little better every year. Thanks to the new play areas and the significant investments in accessibility—a heartfelt thank you to the Friends of the Waldbad—the pool has become even more inclusive and vibrant. We’re ready for summer and look forward to welcoming many swimmers!”

The online ticketing system introduced two years ago has become firmly established. You can purchase tickets in advance on our website, allowing you to avoid lines on hot days. Those who prefer to pay the traditional way can, of course, still do so on-site at the ticket office. Lothar Böck emphasizes the social importance of the outdoor pool: “The Waldbad is the summer hub of our city life. Especially in times of rising costs, it’s important to us that visiting the outdoor pool remains affordable for families. We have therefore deliberately kept admission prices stable so that the Waldbad remains a place for everyone in Günzburg.”

The entire Waldbad team is looking forward to seeing you and to the upcoming season!
