Anoka County, MN Swimming Pools & Spas: Fencing & Safety Requirements (2026)

Coon Rapids pool safety rules require gates to open outward away from the pool, be self-closing, and have a self-latching device. Where the latch release is less than 54 inches from the bottom of the gate, the release must sit on the pool side at least three inches below the top of the gate, with no opening greater than one-half inch within 18 inches of the release. Doors with direct access to the pool must also be self-latching, secured, protected, or alarmed, or the pool must have a power safety cover. All pools, hot tubs, ponds and spas must be operated so as not to be a nuisance or dangerous to life.
