That's My World Tuesday: Poor Pool Planning

There is a city park in my neighborhood with a year round pool. In the winter the pool has a cover over it and is heated and in the summer the cover is removed and it's an outdoor pool.

The reason that I titled this post poor pool planning is that the pool and buildings have undergone a major renovation, and were originally scheduled to reopen in the fall of 2008 but due to delays won't be ready to open until May of 2009. The problem is that the new cover was put on when they thought it would be open for the winter.

Since the pool won't be ready to open until May of 2009, a few weeks after it re-opens, it will be time to close it briefly to take the cover off for the outdoor pool season. Sounds like a wasted effort to me. Part of the delays involve the new pool buildings which adjoin the pool, and have the showers and office. It's too bad they didn't finish the buildings before deciding whether to have the cover on or off the pool.
