MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee County Parks has released the list of aquatic facilities it will be opening beginning at the end of May.
As the county brings back more lifeguards following the pandemic, it's offering more locations (full list below with dates) compared to 2022, including an additional water park, three splash pads, seven wading pools, and another county beach.
The county, however, will be down one deep well outdoor pool compared to 2022.
"It's gonna be nice. It's gonna be pretty nice. I feel like everybody gonna be out here chillin', vibin'," said Elijah Lampkin, who lives near Harriet Tubman Park. The county is bringing back the wading pool at Tubman Park.
South of Tubman Park, the Carver Park splash pad will be returning as well.
"It's already popular, but it'll [splash pad] put it [Carver Park] back on the map for a lot of kids to come from different parts of the neighborhood that's in the vicinity to participate and enjoy the water at Carver," said Austin.
