Sadly, it looks like the last few days of operation for Capitol Hill’s wading pools and spray parks won’t be sunshine-filled. Both the Volunteer and Cal Anderson park pools close for the season Monday evening. News isn’t any better for Miller Park’s spray feature — it shuts down on Monday, too. So, when the sun breaks through the clouds, make the most of it, get your swim diaper on and enjoy a few last moments of summer.
I just talked to the City of Seattle aquatics director who informed me that the Seattle area spray features will remain open through September! Alas, they couldn’t get permission to prolong the inevitable draining of the wading pools. Which is a bummer since Summer finally just arrived.
