Now that something resembling summer-like weather has finally arrived, the Milwaukee County Parks system is opening its outdoor pools for the season.
The Wilson Park pool, located at Wilson Recreation at 4001 S. 20th St., became the city’s first outdoor pool to open today.
The county’s other deep-well pools will open on Thursday, June 19, from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m., weather permitting. Those pools include Grobschmidt, Hales Corners, Holler, Jackson, McCarty, Sheridan, Washington, and the Pelican Cove waterpark in Kosciuszko Park. Some of those pools will also be open for evening swim from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on opening day.
