Have you seen the forecast for this weekend? The sun will be shining, and temperatures will be in the upper 70s — even flirting with 80 degrees on Sunday. That’s a perfect excuse to head to Magnolia’s Mounger Pool, which is opening for the summer season on Saturday.

As many Queen Anne families know, Mounger is one of only two outdoor pools in Seattle, and it combines a regular pool with a wading pool. This season on Friday nights (beginning next week), it will hold Friday Family Fun nights (5:30 – 7:30 p.m.) with themed events such as Rock and Roll Party, Outrageous Animal Safari, Art on Deck, and Pirate Pool Party.

Mounger Pool is located at 2535 32nd Ave. W, and it will be open daily until September 9, 2012.

Although Queen Anne has its very own year-round pool, it’s indoors, which is great in the winter rain and sleet (or in the case of last winter, ice and snow), but is terrible in the summer sunshine that we seem to be having so much of these days.

Inspired by our sister site, Magnolia Voice, we thought we’d remind you of the last few days of public outdoor pool fun over at “Pop” Mounger Pool in Magnolia, before they close up for the season.

This is the last weekend Mounger Pool will be open, with holiday schedule hours on Monday. Download the schedule here.

If you prefer the covered Queen Anne Pool, check out their schedule, which is slightly different. They, for example, will be closed on Labor Day and will reopen with their regular hours on Tuesday, September 8. (They also do “Dive-In” movies on the third Friday of every month, starting September 18).
