The city's outdoor pools and beaches open this Victoria Day weekend. Beginning May 18, the heated seaside pools at Kitsilano Beach Park, Second Beach, Stanley Park and New Brighton Park will open. The outdoor pool at Hillcrest Aquatic Centre next to Nat Bailey Stadium also opens that day. Maple Grove Pool, at 6875 Yew St., opens June 22. Vancouver's outdoor pools operate from this Saturday through the Labour Day weekend and even later, depending on the weather. Lifeguards patrol the park board's supervised beaches daily from 11: 30 a.m. to 8: 30 p.m., except when the red light is on at the Lifeguard Station. Vancouver has 10 supervised ocean beaches that stretch 18 kilometres around Burrard Inlet and English Bay. Trout Lake Beach at John Hendry Park is the city's only supervised freshwater beach.
