No pools before mid-June
The Journal says most outdoor pools and splash pads won’t open before mid‑June; meantime, hot days will see people flocking to the beaches.

The splash pad at the park next to my kids’ school has been open since last Friday. It actually hasn’t turned off since then and has been wasting water ever since. Odd.

You’d think they could have it on a timer, even if they can’t spare a worker to come around and shut it down after dark.

It looks like they “fixed” it between yesterday afternoon, when I picked up my kids, and this morning, when I dropped them off. It was off this morning. But the sensor to turn it back on did not work, either. So it looks like they just turned if off completely. On a day where it’s expected to be over 30 degrees.

Anecdotes: Verdun beach was jammed last night at 8pm and the water feature in my local park has been on for a couple of weeks already.

Splash pad near me (Pointe-St-Charles) has been on for a while now too.
Verdun beach is always packed when it’s nice. Would be great to have more spots like it.
