Pool at North Port’s Al Goll Recreational Center to Remain Closed

SHARE NOW

The pool at the Al Goll Recreational Center in North Port may be shut down before it gets a chance to be renovated.

Late last month, the pool failed a health inspection done by the state. Five different violations were found- water clarity/algae, pool finish, water level/control, pressure and other equipment.

The state health department ordered that corrective measures be done by September- a responsibility that would fall on the SKY Family YMCA.

The North Port city commission, which is looking into a public-private partnership for renovating the entire rec center, voted 4-1 last night to “let the pool ride out its usefulness.” Refurbishing the pool would cost an estimated $400,000.
