Rhoads Pool opening remains uncertain, but hopes to open the week after Memorial Day…

Last night the Harrison County Parks Board held a lengthy meeting addressing a number of issues, properties, and upcoming projects. Most notably was the situation at Rhoads Pool. The meeting was to be held at Rhoads Pool, but the location was changed to the Discovery Center at the last minute (see photo).

Superintendent Larry Schickles provided the board with details on the recent motor malfunction that has delayed the opening of Rhoads.

After the pool was filled and filtered and the cholorine levels were good to go when the pump caught on fire. The parks department was able to find a pump by via Derby City pumps and it was installed yesterday. Shickles stated that

"The good news is the pool is fixed...We won't open Memorial Day weekend, but we will be open next week...I'm not going to throw a date out because that's kind of like jinxing something."
