Baltimore Pools Shut Down by Vandalism | Annapolis News

Baltimore’s public pools are shutting down temporarily amid rising vandalism—trash and broken glass dumped into the water—just as extreme heat alerts hit and families desperately need cooling off spots. Multiple pools including Towanda, Patterson Park, and Roosevelt Park are affected, sparking frustration among residents who see it as a betrayal of community trust. City officials are urging the public to report suspicious activity after hours and have ramped up security with cameras and off-hours staff. While 17 pools remain open, closures are still a blow during sweltering weather. Towanda Pool is set to reopen Thursday, and officials vow to keep these vital spaces safe and accessible with community cooperation.
