Despite the lack of cooperation from the weather, some splash pads open today.

The Halifax Regional Municipality says the splash pads at Bayers-Westwood, George Dixon, Isleville Street, Westmount, and Sackville are now open for the season.

The Halifax Common splash pad will open July 1, along with all supervised municipal beaches and the Bedford and Cole Harbour outdoor pools. Bookings for both pools are now being accepted.

“Memberships for Bedford Outdoor Pool can purchased through Lebrun Recreation Centre and for Cole Harbour Outdoor Pool they can be purchased through the Cole Harbour Recreation Centre starting Monday, June 30,” said HRM in a news release.

The Halifax Common pool is closed this season due to the construction of the new Halifax Commons Aquatics Facility.

To make up for it, HRM is offering free swims at the Needham Community Centre.

Construction is also still continuing on the new Shirley's Splash Pad at the Dartmouth Common, which is expected to open sometime this summer.
