Pools and water parks are getting ready to open this weekend and next weekend all over the Northwest suburbs. While today might be a little cool for swimming - expected highs are in the mid-60s - Sunday and Monday look more promising. Check your park district guides for the opening dates of the pools and water parks in your community.
