You will also want to sign up for Fredericksburg Alert. It delivers
important emergency alerts, notifications and updates (swim-les-
son cancellations, pool closures, etc.) to you on all of your devices.
Nothing beats a cold pool
on a hot day. Thanks to the
Doris E. Buffett Pool (Dixon
Park Pool), kids in the city
of Fredericksburg can take
a cool dip and enjoy other
amenities, like its waterslide,
water features for little ones
and a zero-depth entry area
for easy access.
The pool is free to use for city
residents, but non-residents
are welcome to play for a small
non-resident fee.
The Doris E. Buffett Pool offers
swimming lessons, pool-party
rentals and seasonal events.
This year, those events will
include a "Zombie Hunt," doggy
swim day and more. There
is also an area where you can purchase food and escape the sun
under tables with umbrellas.
The pool is located in Dixon park at 1300 Dixon Street, which is on
Rt. 2 & 17 across from Mayfield subdivision.
For more information, check out its section on the Fredericksburg
City website: https://www.fredericksburgva.gov/departments/rec-
