The pool in North Woodmere Park and all other Nassau County pools opened over the weekend after the county repaired Sandy-related damage to the facilities.
“Nassau County parks and beaches are vital to the quality of life we enjoy in our communities,” County Executive Edward Mangano said. “Since Hurricane Sandy struck our shores, my administration has worked tirelessly to restore the summer destinations families visit the most — beaches, parks and pools. I invite all residents to enjoy a ‘stay-cation' in Nassau County this summer."
County pools suffered extensive damage and were rendered useless in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, according to the county.
