Floating pool in Hunts Point reopens

"

The Floating Lady Pool at Barretto Point Park in Hunts Point is back open. People who went to the pool Tuesday said they were told to leave due to technical difficulties. It's one of other pool closures this summer in the Bronx, including the most recent, at the Claremont Park Pool on Tuesday. That location has since reopened. NYC Parks Department says pool closures are due to a variety of reasons from sanitary, mechanical, staffing and weather-related issues. Anticipated reopening of pools is usually posted on the parks department website. In June, the Parks Department announced $1 billion investment into improving public pools citywide. That includes upgrades at Claremont Park Pool and a full reconstruction of the Van Cortlandt Park Pool in 2028. "
