With a sizzling couple days ahead — it will feel as if it’s over 110 degrees during the peak of the heat both Saturday and Sunday — the District’s department of parks and recreation extended the hours for a number of outdoor pools and splash parks through Monday, July 22.
All of the venues listed below will open one hour earlier (10 a.m.) and close one hour later (9 p.m.) than usual. All other pools will follow their normal operating hours.
