Many Van Cortlandt Park residents are upset that they might not be able to spend this Labor Day weekend at the pool due to damages caused by Ida.
The Van Cortlandt Park Alliance posted photos on Twitter of the pool dealing with severe flooding.
It is unclear if the issue will be resolved for Labor Day.
The Parks Department told News 12 that they are “determining the extent of damage and repairs needed at Van Cortlandt pool.”
The Parks Department also says it’s asking everyone to be patient as their staff deal with flooding issues not only at Van Cortlandt Park, but also at Prospect Park in Brooklyn and Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens.
