With the high temperature predicted to be 105 degrees, Mayor Tom Henry announced Thursday that he is waiving the admission fee at Northside, McMillen and Memorial pools for Thursday and Friday. Residents will only be allowed into the pools until they reach capacity, whether or not they plan to swim. About 400 people will be allowed into Northside and McMillen pools at one time; Memorial Pool will only hold 200.
The city's free splashpads are another good option to cool off in the heat and are open 9 am.-9 p.m. Splashpads are in Buckner, McCormick, Memorial, Shoaff and Waynedale parks.
