City pool opens with upgrades

The City of Alexander City Parks and Recreation installed a brand new filtration system into the city pool.

The city pool got a makeover just in time for summer.

The city pool, which is located at the soccer complex, received some much needed upkeep before opening Tuesday. Alexander City Parks and Recreation director Kasey Kaschak said many structures in the pool area had begun to fade, so the facade, metal beams, bathrooms and area surrounding the pool have been repainted. The event pavilion beside the pool was pressure washed and cleaned to create a more comfortable environment for parties.
