BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) — Birmingham Park and Recreation plans to open seven of its 18 city pools on June 6, with swimming lessons beginning June 9.
Last year, the city opened its public pools on a staggered schedule, beginning Memorial Day weekend. Officials say they’re opening later this year due to repair work being done on the pools.
