Broad Ripple Park Pool still closed, neighbors seek answers

INDIANAPOLIS — It’s been a long, hot summer in Broad Ripple and the neighborhood’s beloved community pool remains closed.

With temperatures rising and August just around the corner, many are wondering if the Broad Ripple Park Pool will open at all this season.

“Indy Parks keeps telling us different reasons for the delay,” said Bill Malcolm, a longtime resident and community volunteer.

Malcolm helps run the Friends of Broad Ripple Pool Facebook group and is an active volunteer with Friends of Broad Ripple Park.

“Initially, we were told it was a pool pump issue and then we heard it was a pump part that’s no longer made,” said Malcolm. “Later, we were told there was sand in the filter and that the health department needed to check chlorine levels.”

The Broad Ripple Park Pool has a rich history serving the community for more than a century.
