HIALEAH, FLA. (WSVN) – Hialeah\u2019s public pools have closed over possible concerning conditions.<\/p>\n
City officials on Tuesday announced the closure of all of its public water facilities, including the Bucky Dent Water Park, and said they\u2019re going to conduct a review of each of the facilities.<\/p>\n
According to the mayor\u2019s office, Milander Pool, McDonald Pool and Babcock Pool will be shut down and remain closed during each of their individual reviews.<\/p>\n
The city said they are reviewing facilities out of what they called an abundance of caution.<\/p>\n
Representatives with the city said health and safety experts will evaluate each facility and identify any corrective measures that may need to be taken.<\/p>\n
Hialeah Mayor Bryan Calvo wrote the following statement:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe condition of many of Hialeah\u2019s aquatic and park facilities reflects years of deferred maintenance and neglect that this administration is now confronting head-on. I have formally asked the commissioner to help find us $5 million to renovate and modernize these facilities so they can be maintained to the highest standards.\u201d<\/p>\n
Calvo went on to write that Hialeah residents deserve more.<\/p>\n
7News reached out to the mayor\u2019s office to find out how long each of those facilities will remain closed, but that remains unclear at this time.<\/p>\n
