Swimming Lake to Reopen Today
- Share via
The Hansen Dam Aquatic Center’s 1.5-acre swimming lake will reopen today after being closed for repairs since January, officials said.
More than $2.5 million in work on leaking pipes and a cracked concrete floor was completed and the lake was refilled Wednesday, said Fred Egeler, spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers, which owns the site in the northeast San Fernando Valley.
If the project had not been “fast-tracked,” he said, the lake, which is normally available for use year-round, would not have opened until fall.
The swimming lake will open at 10 a.m. Admission is $1.25 for swimmers 18 to 64.
All other swimmers will be admitted free.
