Moorhead’s South Park wading pool will stay closed

MOORHEAD, Minn. (KVRR) — The wading pool at South Park near Ellen Hopkins School won’t be opening for the summer.

The City of Moorhead Parks and Recreation Department says the pool is beyond reasonable repair due to persistent leaks and failing concrete and needs to be demolished.

The Park Advisory Board will review long-range planning for aquatics in Moorhead in August.

The pool is built on property owned by Moorhead Area Public Schools and a new wading pool at that location may not be possible.
