Swim season must go on
Thursday, June 8, 2017 by Nina Hernandez
As we noted on Wednesday, Rosewood Pool has unfortunately closed due to an “unexpected maintenance issue.” Yesterday afternoon, the Parks and Recreation Department elaborated on the extent of the problem. Essentially, paint on the bottom of the pool is mixing with the water and making it hard for city lifeguards to see. Since the community has to wait for the pool to reopen on Saturday, June 17, the department decided to open the Dottie Jordan Pool, 2803 Loyola Lane, earlier than it originally planned. And, though Dottie Jordan is normally closed on Wednesdays, it will be open on June 14 to compensate for the Rosewood closure. Find pool hours and more on the city’s website.
