Farewell, Summer 2018. The season doesn’t officially end until late September, of course, and we’ve still got a few weeks before Labor Day, but there’s a reliable indicator telling us right now to pack up our swimsuits and finish back-to-school shopping:
Philly’s public pools have started to close for the season.
Some have closed already. The first goodbyes were bid on Aug. 9 to neighborhood pools at Jacobs Playground and MLK Rec. At least one public pool has shut its doors every day since. They’ll all be closed by Friday, Aug. 24.
Here are the 2018 shutdown dates for Philly’s community pools:
