Dive in! Find Out When Your Free Public Pool is Set to Open

The opening of Philadelphia's public pools could not come at a better time as some lingering mugginess remains from the repressive heat on Monday.

The City of Philadelphia plans to open more than 70 public pools, starting June 19 and having all up and running by the end of the month. 

This year’s first opening comes earlier than expected. For the last two summers, the pool openings began on June 22.

Philadelphia had the most city run pools in the country as of 2017 according to The Trust for Public Land
