Mabel Davis Pool opening delayed for repairs
Tuesday, May 30, 2017 by Nina Hernandez
Unfortunately for city aquatics fanatics (ourselves included), the opening of Mabel Davis Pool this summer will be delayed due to technical difficulties. Last week, as they prepped the pool for the upcoming season, Parks and Recreation Department staff investigated a drop in water levels. That led to the discovery of a significant leak that stopped the pool from opening on Saturday, May 27, as scheduled. “The Department is diligently working to reopen the pool, pending recommendations and available funding,” the city said in a Friday press release. As soon as repairs are complete, staff will set a new opening date. We’ll keep you posted.
