The Mixed Pond on the heath, which is closed every winter, is reopening on Saturday (April 12) from 7am to 4.15pm.
City of London Corporation, which runs the Heath and ponds, said that from Sunday it will be open from 7am to 6.15pm daily.
Women had been using the mixed pond since February while maintenance work was being carried out at the Kenwood Ladies Pond, which opened this week (April 9).
There are no changes to the Men’s Pond, which has been open all year.
