Columbia’s Albert-Oakland pool closed for repairs

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Columbia Parks and Recreation said the Albert-Oakland Family Aquatic Center would not open Wednesday, a day after the pool closed early because of water quality.

The pool would be closed Wednesday to give staff time to identify "ongoing mechanical issues" and make repairs, Parks and Recreation wrote in a Facebook post. The city anticipates opening the pool on Thursday.

The Albert-Oakland pool was closed early on Tuesday because of problems with water clarity, the department stated. The indoor pool at Columbia's Activity and Recreation Center was also closed Tuesday for cleaning after staff discovered excrement in the pool.

Parks and Recreation wrote on Wednesday that the Lake of the Woods pool would be open from noon to 5 p.m. and the ARC pool would be open for recreational swimming from 1 to 5 p.m.
