With Forest Hills Pool closed for good and other local pools shuttered, families scramble for relief, especially as spraygrounds also shut down due to drought. Residents like Keyana Moss are stuck relying on overcrowded Hillside, while city officials point to budget cuts as the culprit. But hope’s on the horizon: new pools at East End Park and Merrick-Moore Park are set for 2030, and Forest Hills gets upgrades. For now, indoor options like Edison Johnson and Campus Hills remain open—just don’t expect relief any time soon. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
