As the end of the summer is approaching fast, the city has announced that it would start closing outdoor public pools beginning this week. Some pools may have closed even earlier as we noticed that the Shepard pool at 57th and Haverford was already drained out Monday morning. Other pools will stay open until the end of next week. By the way, the sprayground at 48th and Woodland will stay open until September 1.
Here’s the schedule for closings of the pools located in West Philly and vicinity:
Tuesday, Aug 13 – Baker (5431-43 Lansdowne Ave.), Tustin (5901-29 W. Columbia Avenue)
Friday, Aug 16 – Mill Creek (743-81 N. 48th Street)
Monday, Aug 19 – Lee (4328 Haverford Avenue), Myers (5800 Chester Avenue)
Wednesday, Aug 21 – O’Connor (2601 South Street)
Friday, Aug 23 – Kelly (4231 North Concourse Drive), Sayre (5835 Spruce Street)
