It took a little longer than expected, but the $850,000 Eastside Lansing Hunter Park Pool and splash pad renovation is finished.
Lansing city officials had hoped for a mid-summer opening, but had to settle for a September unveiling instead.
“We weren’t really able to start this until the spring, when all of the contracts were signed,” says Murdock Jemerson with the City of Lansing. “We were hoping to get it done, but things didn’t work out that way.”
The renovations included a new pool liner and gutter system, re-caulking, a spray park and a "zero entry point” for handicapped accessibility.
The pool has been closed since mid-2006.
