With warm weather coming this weekend, Madison is giving residents a chance to cool off by opening local pools and beaches.

Goodman Pool at 325 W Olin Ave. opens for the season Friday afternoon at 4 p.m. Cypress Spray Park, 902 Magnolia Ave., also opens Friday, with a spray area available from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily this summer.

The city's beaches are scheduled to open June 13, but are getting an early start thanks to the warm weather. All of the beaches are open, according to the city, with some having early lifeguard service this weekend.

Madison splits its beaches into two categories: regional and neighborhood. BB Clarke Beach, Olbrich Park Beach, Tenney Park Beach and Vilas Park Beach are all regional beaches; Bernies Beach, Esther Beach, James Madison Park Beach, Olin Park Beach, Spring Harbor Beach and Warner Park Beach are neighborhood beaches.

Regional beaches will have lifeguards on duty Friday from 2-7 p.m.

On Saturday and Sunday, regional beaches will have lifeguards from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., while neighborhood beaches will have them from 12:30-4:30 p.m.

For Monday and Tuesday, regional beaches will have lifeguard service from 2-7 p.m.

Once they open for the season Wednesday, regional beaches will have lifeguards on duty each day from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., while neighborhood beaches will have them from 12:30-4:30 p.m.
