Most of Pittsburgh’s outdoor public pools will stay open with their current hours of operation through Sunday, while some will remain open through Labor Day.
According to Mayor Ed Gainey, the city opened 12 pools this summer, four more than last year.
The Highland Park and Sue Murray pools closed for the season earlier this summer. Highland Park closed due to damages caused by a mudslide; Sue Murray in the North Side was due to an old pool pump that needed repairing.
After Sunday, seven pools — Ammon, Bloomfield, Jack Stack, Moore, Ormsby, Ream and Schenley — will continue operations through Labor Day.
“We are extremely happy to keep seven pools fully open for an entire week later than expected. It is a testament to the dedication our aquatics staff has for the people of Pittsburgh,” CitiParks Director Kathryn Vargas said.
“We would like to recognize and thank our entire aquatics staff and all of our lifeguards for a safe, fun summer,” Gainey said.
