City of Atlanta to Open Outdoor Community Pools Memorial Day Weekend

“Each year, the City of Atlanta kicks off its outdoor pool season during the Memorial Day weekend, and we are excited to offer another great season of outdoor water activities to help the kids in Atlanta beat the heat while being active and enjoying the great outdoors,” said George Dusenbury, Commissioner of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs. “Providing access to pools and Spraygrounds is part of Mayor Reed’s emphasis on providing positive activities and experiences for our youth.”
