Cool off the way generations of Ponca City families have, at the historic Wentz Pool. This charming outdoor pool dates to the 1930s and still operates over its original underground locker rooms and sand-filtration system, giving a dip here a touch of local heritage alongside summertime fun. Open during the warm months, it's a relaxed, family-friendly spot for swimming and splashing on a hot Oklahoma day, and it's also available to rent for private evening parties. For lap swimming and a family pool with a spiral water slide, the indoor aquatics center at the nearby RecPlex rounds out the city's swimming options year-round.
