Have you been to the McKoy Pool lately?? I mean, I love that place – it’s convenient and my two little kids adore the zero entry – but it’s gross. Band-aids floating by, cloudy water that helpfully hides the branches and dirt in the bottom, and don’t get me started on the muddy “lawn” area.

Is this just what it’s going to be like? Should I just suck it up because it’s a great pool for little kids? I already mandate showers at home immediately afterward. I’m dying to know if anyone else has similar thoughts or ideas to ask the city to clean it up.

Decatur Active Living’s Cheryl Burnette writes in to inform us that McKoy Pool is closed again today.

Plumbing problems again today – McKoy Pool is closed, with hopes of opening later today. There is a pipe that needs to be repaired and we are working on it to get repairs done as quickly as possible. Please enjoy Glenlake Pool and Ebster Pool to stay cool.

Stay tuned for updates and we apologize for any inconvenience.

From Shannon…

The City has agreed to keep McKoy Pool open on weekdays in August from 9:00 to 1:00. (Since CSD is starting back on August 2nd this year, they had originally planned to close all the pools on weekdays starting August 1st.)
