The City of St. Paul's outdoor pools and Phalen Beach open Saturday and Parks and Recreation officials are inviting the city to "get your splash on."

Como Regional Park Pool, Highland Park Aquatic Center and Phalen Beach open just in time for a weekend that is expected to be plenty hot. Folks who want to avoid the admission lines can buy membership cards ahead of time at Oxford Community Center. Memberships can be used at any city aquatic facility and are available online as well.
