UPDATE 1:28 PM:
Neighbor Juan shares the bad news. Opening delayed:

the wading pool is not open yet. We just came back from the park and cement around the new drain is still curing.

---------------------------------------------

Though temperatures will top out only in the mid 60s and clouds will likely menace the sky through the day, Saturday is a good day to put on your swim diaper and head for the park. Volunteer Park's wading pool is open for the season.

The pool is one of only four in the city able to open this weekend as delays in safety upgrades will keep some pools empty all summer.

Also, while you're wearing that swim diaper, remember that the Park's 'Western Loop' is now closed to automobiles. Forever. No driving.

For kids on the other side of the Hill, Cal Anderson's wade pool is slated to begin its season on June 29th.

The handicap-accessible walk-in, run through, sit in play fountain at Miller Community Center is splashing way to itself most hours, most days.
