As announcements go, this one’s a wet blanket. But points to D.C. Parks and Recreation for a solid press release pun today (at least by government bureaucracy standards) announcing seasonal pool closures across the District.

“Outdoor pools will close in waves” beginning at 6 p.m. this Sunday, the department announced. Fortunately, spray parks and a handful of pools will remain open until Labor Day, Sept. 5: Banneker, Francis, Oxon Run, Rosedale, and Upshur.

“The D.C. Department of Parks and Recreation has historically closed outdoor pools on a rolling basis beginning in August,” a spokeswoman said in a statement. “Closures are based on historical pool usage. It should also be noted that the majority of DPR’s outdoor pool workforce is comprised of college and high school aged students who are preparing for their school year. The community will continue to have access to other pools in DPR’s inventory.”
