The future of popular Nassau County pools remains uncertain

Roslyn, Long Island (WABC) — For more than 60 years, Christopher Morley Park has been Nassau County’s summer retreat, but its future remains uncertain.

Anton Baltul wasn’t the only pickleballer in the park on Friday.

“I was thinking, why is there still no water in the pool?” Baltur said.

New playgrounds are also being built, and sports are everywhere, but the refreshing Christopher Morley pool doesn’t look like it’s going to fill up any time soon. Several camps expected it, including one through Roslyn Chabad.

“When I was a child, I remember the platform they had. ” ,” He said.

Nassau County will hold a press conference to kick off the pool season next week. No word yet on whether Christopher Morley will be among them. Many residents are wondering what else can be substituted if there is no pool there.
