The Hood River Valley Parks and Recreation District is taking public concerns about the condition of the Hood River Aquatic Center.  A recent engineers’ assessment put the remaining serviceable use life of the pool at three-to-five years.  Plaster fragmentation of pool tanks, brittle pipes, inefficient and outdated systems, and a deteriorating tent-style enclosure are among the major issues facing the Aquatic Center.  Director Mark Hickox says the district is starting the process of finding out the direction the public wants to go in.  The pool feasibility study is online at hoodriverparksandrec.org.  Hickox indicated public meetings on the issue will begin in the coming months.
