Astoria Park pool will be closed this summer for $19 million renovation
NEW YORK - There's unwelcome news for some folks planning to cool off from the heat this upcoming summer.
The Olympic-sized swimming pool at Astoria Park in Queens is undergoing a $19 million renovation.
That means the pool will be closed this summer.
The Parks Department says the pool is getting a new liner, deck and filtration systems.
We're told the pool should reopen by next year.
