Heman Park Pool in University City is the best kept secret in outdoor swimming pools. Where else can you have your choice of 13 lanes for lap swimming and sunbathe on the grass with lovely trees for shade (umbrellas too)? The water is kept sparkling clean and the guards are friendly and helpful. It closed for the season yesterday but we'll all be back next Memorial Day. Keep it a secret though - don't tell anyone.
