Pool Redevelopment: Worth It or a Waste of Money?

What do you think of the redevelopment project at the Garden City Pool complex?

A renovated Garden City Pool officially opened for the season June 9.

The opening revealed new features in the complex, including a completely revamped children’s pool, new filtration systems, added shade structures to the adult pool and the playground, as well as a remastering of the 20-year-old water slide in the main pool area.

Kevin E. Ocker, chairman of the Board of Commissioners of Cultural and Recreational Affairs, said the feedback is "outstanding," much more than he could have ever anticipated.
