Los Padillas Pool opening paused indefinitely after delay

NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – After officials announced delays in the opening of the Los Padillas community pool in the South Valley, the county says they don’t know when the pool might be opened.

The pool was originally slated to open for summer, but in late May, county officials said contractors had to work on pipes before the pool could open. That delayed the opening date to June 15. Now, the county says that while fixing those pipes, they discovered additional “mechanical issues.”

With the new discovery, the county is delaying the opening “indefinitely.” They say the mechanical issues must be repaired and then inspected before the pool is usable.

Other pools operated by Bernalillo County are open. Information and hours for the Rio Grande, South Valley, and Paradise Hills pools can be found at this link .
