Summary
After a three-year wait, Cranston’s iconic Budlong Pool is finally reopening this Wednesday — transformed into the Budlong Aquatic Center with a $5.3 million overhaul, featuring four lap lanes, a splash pad for 50-100 kids, and full accessibility upgrades. Free admission for the first week celebrates the long-awaited return, with a ribbon-cutting at 11:45 AM and public swimming starting at noon. Mayor Ken Hopkins calls it a generational institution — and the wait was worth it. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
