Here are the numbers for 2011, making 169 average users per open day (last recorded average numbers for PB Wading Pool were 61 in 2008 and 152 in 2007).

As we gear up for summer 2012 (and hopefully news about a reallocation of funding to open more pools for more equitable access), a belated thanks to Parks and Rec for extending the season at our wading pool and the other wading pools across Seattle. I hope to have more updates soon!

Seattle wading pools will stay open longer Seattle wading pools were closed so often because of the chilly summer that the Parks Department is lengthening the schedules of some of them.

I should also announce that this is my family's last Saturday at the pool (or would have been) as we are moving out of the country next week - thanks so much for everyone's support! I will continue to monitor things from afar, but would love it if someone would step up to be the PB wading pool committee coordinator - email me at [email protected]. Thanks! Melissa

What the heck? The forecast was for 75 and sunny and they didn't open the pool! Looks like, in addition to being open August 27, the Leschi Community Council will get a refund of $550...too bad we had toted all our stuff there and a bunch of friends too...;-(

Hope everyone has had a chance by now to make it to the pool. It's going to be another gorgeous day tomorrow so come on out and play in the pool!

We had a great opening day last Saturday (see CD news story below). Looks like another beautiful day today - come on out and enjoy the pool! It will be open 12-7. The boat, chairs, umbrella, pump and other inflatables are stored on site, so if you don't see them, ask the Parks& Rec attendant Pete to get them out - they are for everyone to use.

They were

Just a reminder - Saturday July 2, 12-7pm, is the first open day for the Powell Barnett Park wading pool! We will have water and soft drinks available for a minimal donation (we still have $300 to raise to pay back our loan). It's forecast to be 71 degrees and sunny - please join us for some fun in the sun!
