After several weeks of repairs, the Nelson Center pool is reopening.
The pool opens today (as of 1pm Friday) after being shut down to fix a malfunctioning pump.
To make up for the lost pool time during the dog days of summer, park district officials say they will extend the season at Nelson Center, keeping the pool open during most of September. Usually the pool would close Labor Day Weekend, but forecasters are predicting a hotter-than-normal September.
