Highland Park Pool Remains Closed

The Highland Park pool remained closed yesterday after officials found glass in the kiddie pool. Even though there was no glass in the large pool, it had to be closed too because of the park’s water filtration system. The Broome County Health Department said it received an anonymous complaint on Sunday witnessing lifeguards taking glass out of the kiddie pool at Highland Park. The department said one person suffered cuts from the glass before the pools were closed. Now, the park is required to go through a lengthy cleanup process before the pools can be reopened to the public. Once it is completed, the county health department will send an inspector, and the pools will be reopened. They expect the pools to reopen within the next few days.
