Drone Video: Fly over Rigdon Park pool construction project

Columbus councilors say their residents are frustrated after the city’s parks department announced that three local pools wouldn’t open until children were back in school for the fall.
The delays were announced at a city council meeting earlier this month. In the presentation, the Parks and Recreation Department said rain and plan revisions contributed to the delays. The department also hadn’t obtained a health department permit it needed.
Joanne Cogle is the city councilor for District 7, where the Rigdon Park pool is located. It was supposed to reopen in July, but the opening date has been pushed back to August.
“It’s another disappointment that we haven’t been able to fulfill as a city, and especially for the kids that we’re trying to keep off the streets and give them something to do,” said Cogle.
