☀️💦 It’s a beautiful day for a pool day! 💦☀️

Regular weekday hours of 12:00 PM – 7:00 PM will begin on Monday, June 8.

We’re excited to see everyone at the pool this season! 😎🌊

Current status: neighborhood meteorologists report a 97% chance of me performing a rain dance in the park, so the clouds get confused and leave before pool opening weekend. 💃🌧️➡️☀️

If you see someone spinning around with pool noodles and yelling “NOT TODAY, RAIN,” mind your business. I’m trying to save summer. 🏖️😂

Everybody, do your part:
☀️ Put your sunglasses on
☀️ Wash your car
☀️ Threaten the weather app
☀️ Manifest poolside snacks

We WILL open the pool this weekend if I have to dance like a confused flamingo to make it happen. 🦩
