Update: Overland Park officials announced Thursday that Bluejacket Pool will not open this weekend following the discovery of a “significant water leak.” 

Memorial Day, the traditional start of summer, is upon us.

Schools in Johnson count are out, barbecues are fired up and, yes, pools are opening.
