Ida Lee Main Indoor Pool Will Reopen on Sunday, March 4,
2018
Leesburg, VA (March 1, 2018) – Repairs to the drain vaults in the deep end of the main indoor
pool at Ida Lee Park Recreation Center have been completed and the pool will reopen on
Sunday, March 4, 2018, at 8:00 a.m.
On Wednesday, February 7, staff discovered that the fiberglass lining of one of the pool’s three
drain vaults was cracked and leaking. Engineering analysis determined that the leak did not
cause significant erosion under the pool shell or any structural damage to the pool. As a
precaution against similar problems with the other two drain vaults, all three vault s were
reinforced with rebar, encased in new concrete, and covered with a new plaster coating.
