The indoor pool has to be closed down whenever the power goes out until bubbles in the water subside and the life guards can see the bottom of the pool. There is fear everytime the outdoor pool goes down for painting the wall may cave in. The pump room is also in need of upgrades. The roof for the ice rink is a safety hazard and needs to be replaced and there is a fear if the ice needs to go down during the roof repair the chillers may not be able to bring the ice back. The boards need to be replaced. The fitness center looks good and the equipment is holding up nicely.
