"Opening pools so that Pittsburghers can have a safe, fun summer is a priority for the city. The CitiParks Aquatics staff once again worked hard to ensure 15 pools can open to provide everyone with a place to enjoy the summer," said Mayor Ed Gainey. "In addition to pools providing a safe place for our kids to play this summer, they also provide older kids good summer jobs that can help prepare them for future careers."
