For parents of Calgary toddlers, a trip to a spray park or wading pool is almost an automatic when the mercury hits 30 degrees.
But, many were disappointed Monday, when they arrived at Riley Park with their kids to find their quest to cool down will have to take them elsewhere.
“We thought everything was opening May long weekend,” one mom told 660 NEWS. “It kind of sucks. They’re wearing bathing suits and everything.”
Some, but not Riley Park, are open on weekends, but won’t open during the week until later in June at the earliest.
