The city also runs two seasonal outdoor pools, Doug Russell Aquatic Center at 900 N Midland Drive and Washington Aquatic Center at 1601 E Indiana Ave. Doug Russell has a water slide complex, a play structure and a lagoon, and is named for the Midland-raised swimmer who won gold at the 1968 Olympics.

Community Facilities and Free Options
The Midland YMCA has two branches, downtown at 800 N Big Spring St and northwest at 5549 Avalon Dr. The downtown branch has a fitness center, gym, handball and racquetball courts, family locker rooms, Child Watch and a four-lane, 25-yard pool kept in the high 80s, plus water aerobics, barre, yoga, Zumba, spin, youth and adult sports leagues, after-school programs and summer day camp.
The Bush Tennis Center at 5700 Briarwood Ave opened in 2012 with 19 lighted tennis courts including a stadium court, 8 pickleball courts and 2 padel courts, along with lessons, clinics and leagues.
If you would rather not pay for any of it, Windlands Park has a paved 1.7-mile lit loop with outdoor exercise equipment stationed along the way. Beal Park is the local answer to Midland’s flatness, since its 112 acres include an actual hill that runners use for repeats, along with a 0.7-mile trail, a dog park and a duck pond. Hogan Park has walking tracks, tennis courts and a dog run, and Watersong Wild Space at 2201 S Midland Dr hosts free outdoor classes on its grounds.
