The pool at a popular Raleigh park is about to reopen, after a closure that has lasted nearly a year and ended up costing several million dollars.

<b>RALEIGH, N.C.</b> — The pool at a popular Raleigh park is about to reopen, after a closure that has lasted nearly a year and ended up costing several million dollars.

The Pullen Park Aquatic Center, located at 410 Ashe Avenue, pool is ready for its debut after the city spent $6 million for roof repairs, lighting adjustments and other renovation work at the facility.

The year-round attraction has an indoor Olympic-size pool and offers lap swimming, aquatic therapy and exercise classes.

These renovations were expected to be completed in six months but they lasted nearly a year.

At one of Raleigh's most delightful outdoor spots, the scourge of spring is making visitors sneeze.
