City Pool's open — and now there's a permanent pavilion

Splash 'N Bash kicked off the season Saturday (we previewed it last Thursday), and the City Pool at Milton City Park & Preserve is in regular-season mode. Two notes for families planning to make this their summer base.

First, the season-pass math: day passes run $5 per Milton resident (plus a transaction fee). If you'll be there more than ten times this summer, the season pass is the better number. Rates, hours, senior and family discounts, and the season-pass purchase link are all on the city's Milton City Pool page.

Second, an off-season upgrade: a new permanent pavilion now connects to the Community Center, giving you a covered spot to cool off — or get out of the rain — without packing up the whole day.
