The swimming pool at Mon View Park in Greensboro has closed for the year.
Greene County Commissioners announced the poolâs closing, effective immediately, in a Monday news release, which cited a lack of available staff as the reason for the action.
Commissioner Mike Belding said, like many businesses locally and across the region, the countyâs parks and recreation department has had its struggles with staffing.
âThey have tried to move staff from Waynesburg as much as possible, but most of the lifeguards did not have a driverâs license or transportation,â Belding said.
The pool also has not had enough customers to justify keeping it open, Belding said.

Carmichaels Pool in Wana B Park may have a delayed opening this year because of a leak.
The Greene County-owned pool was set to open Saturday, but according to a Wednesday news release, the countyâs Department of Parks and Recreation discovered âa significant loss of waterâ near the pool.
Bret Moore, the countyâs director of recreation, said the pool had repairs done in 2018, but they âdidnât hold.â He said leaks were patched at the bottom of the pool, but officials want to investigate other potential problems.
âThis afternoon, weâre running a camera through the pipes to see if there are additional leaks,â he said Wednesday. âIt could be a relatively easy fix, but Iâll know more this afternoon. Weâre not really sure how long it will be closed.â
