Cool Down At Los Angeles, Pasadena Public Pools
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Trying to beat the heat? Why not take a dip?
The Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation announced Wednesday that three of the 44 city pools will remain open through Sept. 5.
"Our proposed budget had our pools closing with the new start of the school year, which is this Monday," General Manager Jon Mukri told CBS2's Kristine Lazar.
The $200,000 to $300,000 to keep these pools open will come from reserve funds.
"I can make a commitment to the citizens that we will stay open through Labor Day," Mukri said.
Cindi Rueda, mother of two, uses a city pool at least twice a week.
"It's so extremely hot that you can't be in your house," Rueda said.
