Shutting down operations unexpectedly during peak period!
Waldbad Public Pool in Plaue, Thuringia, Closes Early for Urgent Renovations
The popular Waldbad public pool in Plaue, Thuringia, will be closing earlier than expected, on August 11th, due to urgent and extensive renovation work. The closure, which occurs in the middle of the swimming season, is a result of problems with the newly installed pool technology and facilities.
The renovation measures, financed with a total of 840,000 euros, aim to significantly improve the standard and safety of the pool. The second phase of the renovation project will involve demolition of old outdoor facilities and redesign of the entire outdoor area, including barrier-free access and a lift. A new wading pool and aids for visually impaired people will also be installed as part of the renovation.
Mayor Christian Janik is optimistic that the construction work will be completed on time, allowing all measures to be implemented by the next season. If conditions are favorable, costs could even be saved during the construction work.
Regular visitors who have ten- or annual passes to the Waldbad public pool are questioning the sudden measure. However, the city administration had previously warned of the shortened season and offered solutions.
The pool will remain open daily from 10 am to 8 pm until the closure in August. The city is inviting everyone to a special event celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Waldbad pool from July 25th to 27th, before it is closed for work.
The Waldbad public pool has been a popular meeting place for relaxation seekers and families for years. Its closure is likely to be disappointing to many residents.
No further details about the extent or nature of the renovation work were provided. The "inSuedthueringen" newspaper reported the closure of the Waldbad public pool in Plaue, Thuringia.
Despite being in the peak summer month of August, the closure of the Waldbad public pool is happening. The city hopes to address the issues and ensure the safety and proper function of the pool for the upcoming season.
The renovation project for the Waldbad public pool includes improvements in home-and-garden amenities, as plans for the second phase involve redesigning the outdoor area to include barrier-free access, a lift, and a new wading pool. This renovation, aimed at enhancing lifestyle and outdoor-living experiences, is expected to be completed by the next swimming season.
