One by one many Pickerington pool-goers found themselves in an empty parking lot Wednesday asking the same question.
“Oh man, what’s going on here,” Brooke Casto said.
With temperatures in the 90s for more than a week, Casto brought a car full of family members to the Pickerington Community Pool only to find out it was closed.
“We were looking to jump in the pool on this hot, hot day,” she said.
The City of Pickerington announced on Facebook Tuesday evening the pool would be closed due to “staffing issues.” Swim team and swim lessons were also canceled.
