WILMINGTON — All three of the city’s pools will open for Memorial Day weekend, with appearances by Port City’s “best food trucks,” according to a release from the YMCA.
The YMCA of Southeastern North Carolina partners with the City of Wilmington in running the Legion Stadium, Northside (which has a new splashpad) and Robert Strange Pools (find locations and info here). Food trucks will be stationed at each pool.
- Legion Stadium Pool – Pepe’s Taco Truck

The city pools will be open on Saturday through Monday, May 27-29, from noon to 5 p.m. each day (pools will also be open the following weekend, Saturday and Sunday, June 3 and 4). Daily swim passes are $1 for children and $2 for adults. Guests must complete a free registration to use the pools.
