ALLENTOWN, Pa. — The city of Allentown is demolishing a pool house in order to make room for a new way to stay cool next summer. 

The city posted on Facebook Friday about the demolition of the pool house at Roosevelt Park. 

According to the City of Allentown Parks & Recreation, the existing pool house building by the tennis courts was in poor condition. 

A new spray pad is being installed in place of the structure to help families beat the heat in time for next summer, officials said.
