The big picture
The pool first closed for the 2022 season and remained closed in 2023 while officials worked to install new filters. The park is located at 10605 Mullins Drive, Houston.
Meanwhile, other city pools are slated to reopen in phases, taking into account storm damage from the May 16 derecho storm and an ongoing lifeguard shortage.

“We are eager to provide Houstonians with a safe place to cool off during the summer. At the same time our priority is to ensure their safety while visiting our pools,” said Kenneth Allen, director of the Houston Parks and Recreation Department, in a statement.
