Sams Memorial pool temporarily closed for upgrades

BROWNSVILLE, Texas (ValleyCentral) — The City of Brownsville Parks and Recreation Department announced that Sams Memorial Pool will be closed through June.

The department announced that the pool would be closed due to renovations and upgrades.

City officials say the pool was leaking a significant amount of water, prompting the city to call in a contractor on April 25, 2024, to initiate repairs.

During the initial repair process, another leak was detected while refilling the pool with water.

While the leaks are repaired, all aquatic programs, including public swim, lap swimming, swimming lessons, and water aerobics will be temporarily relocated to Tony Gonzalez Pool, located at 34 Tony Gonzalez Dr.
