GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Grand Rapids has three city pools at three different parks: one at Martin Luther King Park, one at Richmond Park and one at Briggs Park.
All three open on Friday at noon.
It takes months to prepare the pools for opening day and a whole week for the pools to fill up completely.
Admission is just $1 for people 17 and younger who live in Grand Rapids, and $3 for adults who live in Grand Rapids.
Prices jump slightly for people who live outside the city limits, with the rate jumping to $3 for youth nonresidents and $5 for adult nonresidents.
Right now, as the weather warms, the Richmond Park Pool sits at 78 degrees.
More than 60 lifeguards are trained and ready to keep the pools safe for the summer.
