FWIW this has nothing to do with why this specific pool closed. It fell into disrepair and was used as a parking lot for the zoo.

Sure, Fleischacker pool was underfunded for years and fell into disrepair and then closed in 1971. But why was it underfunded, and why was there not enough money to repair it?

Compare that to Kitsilano Pool in Canada. It was consistently repaired and upgraded over time, a fact well documented in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitsilano_Pool
