According to the City, all visitors to outdoor pools will be asked to sign-in with their first name and an email or phone number to facilitate Toronto Public Health contact tracing, should it be required.
Wading pools will begin to open on July 1, 2020, on a location-by-location basis over an 11-day period.
As well, splash/spray pads started to open on June 24, with all locations opening by June 27.
