Public pool reopened after closing last summer

SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU)— After a public pool in Lackawanna County was closed last summer, it's back open this year with some renovations. The ribbon cutting was held at Connell Park pool in Scranton. The pool has been in the area since the 1970s and became dilapidated. The city allocated 1.1 million for the repairs, money that came out of the American Rescue Plan Act. 'In these past five years, we've been able to invest over $26 million in recreational facilities throughout the whole city. All of our neighborhoods from Connell pool here in southside to a cricket pitch in center city, all sorts of dog parks that are new, the pool facilities, the splash pads. There's something for everyone here in Scranton and we're excited to keep building on the amenities,' expressed mayor Paige Cognetti. Connell Park is one of three outdoor pools open this summer in the Electric City. The pool will officially open Saturday morning and will be open daily from noon to 6 p.m. through labor day.
