The shame of Roslindale: City-owned Flaherty Pool is falling apart

Supporters of the Flaherty Pool, run by the Roslindale Community Center and funded by the city, have posted a three-part report on what sort of shape the pool and the pool building are in.

Among the highlighted problems: Foundation cracks, an inadequate and broken ventilation system, leaking ceilings, rust and peeling paint everywhere, not enough lockers, standing water in the basement, missing emergency lights, exposed wiring, ceiling tiles about to collapse, failing pipe insulation, broken and rusted doors. Repairs made to the bottom of the pool in April of this year are already failing - and are rusting and cracking.
