## Resource

Arizona’s desert heat has always demanded cool escapes—and Tombstone’s 1883 municipal pool, the oldest still operating in the U.S., proves it. Built during the silver rush, this “bath house” featured changing rooms, a bar, and shade, and despite rebuilds and closures, it’s still free and open today. Meanwhile, Tempe Beach (1923) was the state’s first Olympic-sized pool and a civil rights milestone after ditching its “No Mexicans Allowed” rule. Other pools like Cottonwood and Joyland added their own flair, but Tombstone remains the OG—still splashing since the 1880s.
