Episode Details

Fairview Park just dropped $14.2 million on rebuilding the Gemini Center — but the leisure pool’s already shut down again just five weeks after reopening, thanks to unsafe humidity levels. Originally slated for fall 2025, this massive overhaul — covering roofs, HVAC, and electrical systems — finally opened in June. Contractors are now racing to fix the air-handling system under warranty, as the city won’t officially accept the project until everything works flawlessly. Voters approved funding in November 2023, plus federal ARPA money for oversight. The timeline’s been a rollercoaster since 2021 safety inspections forced closure — weather, leaks, and delays kept pushing back completion. As of mid-August, no reopening date for the pool, plus lingering issues like bubbles in the liner and slippery tiles. The city’s still gathering data on possible electrical causes behind the humidity woes — and they’re not letting up until it’s perfect.
