The pool’s last holiday

The Town of Leesburg’s outdoor pool, the A.V. Symington Aquatic Center, opens on weekends only once Loudoun County Public Schools are back in session, with regular hours on Labor Day. In 2026 its weekend and holiday hours were 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. for town residents and noon to 6 p.m. for non-residents, and unused 2026 pass visits expired on Labor Day, Sept. 7. Tickets are sold online up to 14 days ahead. More is on our summer camps and pools page.

Things to do over the weekend

  • Morven Park, 17195 Southern Planter Lane. Free gardens and grounds, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, with leashed dogs welcome on the trails. Guided Davis Mansion tours run Friday through Monday, so the holiday Monday is a tour day (tours).

Northwest Monday Tuesday
Northeast, inside the bypass Tuesday Wednesday
Northeast, outside the bypass Wednesday Thursday
Southwest Thursday Friday
