The Memorial Day Weekend opening of Metro Parks' iconic Wave Country and neighborhood spraygrounds signals the beginning of warm weather fun for thousands of water-lovers in the city. The department's popular outdoor pools will open 10 a.m., Monday, June 3.
Wave Country is one of the city's only wave-action swimming pools and offers a variety of amenities for people of all ages. Guests can ride the waves or just enjoy "non-wave" periods as well. There are three water flumes and two speed slides! There's even a kiddie pool with water dropping features and a children's playground. Floats are included in admission, but the supply of floats is limited. Extensive fast-food concessions are available as well.
