Closing Gahanna's pools during pandemic opened door for needed maintenance
ThisWeek group
For all the negative effects COVID-19 had on last year's swimming season, it at least provided an opportunity in Gahanna.
It allowed time for maintenance.
While Gahanna parks and recreation facilities were closed as a result of the pandemic last year, a variety of needed facility maintenance tasks were completed at the Gahanna Swimming Pool, 148 Parkland Drive, and Hunters Ridge Pool, 341 Harrow Blvd.
Brian Gill-Huston, recreation superintendent, said dedicated dollars from Issue 12 that was approved in May 2019 provided most of the funding for the maintenance projects. The issue changed the city’s income-tax rate from 1.5% to 2.5%.
