Summer swimming in Neukölln Pool delayed until late June - Neukölln's Summer Bath Opens Delayed Until Late June
Berlin Outdoor Pools Face Delays in Opening; Restrictions in Neukölln, Schöneberg
In an unexpected development, technical issues have led to the delay in the opening of the Neukölln outdoor pool until the end of June. Berlin Baths Operations (BBB) confirmed that a critical replacement part for water treatment is currently unavailable, causing the extended closure. The BBB website states that the pool will reopen on June 27.
While the Neukölln City Bath's large hall will remain accessible throughout June, original plans for exclusively offering school and club swimming will be adjusted. The staff, who were initially scheduled to transfer to the Neukölln outdoor pool, will continue to serve in the large hall instead.
Further Reading:- Pools in Pankow and Schöneberg also face temporary closure. The Ernst-Thälmann-Park swimming hall will be closed from June 2 due to operational reasons, with efforts underway for an expedited resumption of services.- The Schöneberg diving and training pool has been shut down due to a malfunction. Repairs are expected to last until at least mid-June.
It is important to note that several leisure pools in Berlin, including the Sommerbad im Kombibad Spandau and the Sommerbad Lichterfelde and Kombibad Mariendorf, are currently closed for necessary renovation work. This maintenance effort, which affects various pools in Berlin, is part of a broader effort to ensure safety and quality during the summer season.
For the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding the status of pools in Neukölln and Schöneberg, it's recommended to verify directly with local authorities or the Berliner Bäder-Betriebe (Berlin Baths). No specific reopening dates have been announced for pools undergoing renovations, although it is typically expected that such maintenance work will be completed before the end of the summer season.
In light of the multiple pool closures and delays throughout Berlin, one might consider investing in indoor leisure options to maintain an active lifestyle, such as home-and-garden hydroponic systems for outdoor-living enthusiasts, which could provide a temporary alternative. The Commission has also been asked to submit a proposal for a directive on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to ionizing radiation, illustrating the need for safety in all areas, including home and work environments.
