Hundreds of people turned out at Town Park Pool in Canonsburg on Wednesday – from children splashing in the kids’ pool, teens enjoying their summer break with friends, and adults exercising and lounging in the sun – as temperatures reached the mid-80s. The hot weather drew Audrey Holsclaw of Canonsburg to the pool. “We love Canonsburg pool. We’re here every day during the summer, said Holsclaw, who brought her daughters, Delilah, 10, and Margot, 8. The girls, who “are living their best lives here,” swam in the main pool while Holsclaw hung in the kids’ pool with a friend’s daughter, 3-year-old Genieve Hayes. The pool is open from noon to 6 p.m. daily throughout the summer.
