The City of Lansing is using $850,000 to rehab the popular Hunter Park Community Pool, which has been shut down since mid-2006.
“This pool serves a large neighborhood on the Eastside of Lansing, and they’ve been without their pool for a year and a half,” says Murdock Jemerson, with the City of Lansing.
The city is putting in a new liner, re-caulking the pool, putting in a new gutter system, adding a spray park and creating a "zero entry point," to make the pool handicap accessible.
“Once this pool is renovated, it will become more of a regional than a community swimming pool because of the improvements that will be made,”Jemerson says.
The city hopes to complete renovations by mid-July.
