Toronto outdoor pools are opening for the season this weekend

It’s finally that time! Toronto outdoor pools are opening for the summer and pretty soon, locals will be invited to swim to their heart’s content.

The City of Toronto has released its opening dates for public outdoor pools and some open this Saturday, June 17th.

Splash pads and public beaches are now officially open to the public, and that means swimming pools are next.

Some pools will be open for night swimming to give everyone ample time to cool off throughout the summer.
