Algonquin is the only pool left in West Louisville, and residents say the city has neglected basic maintenance and improvements for years.
This summer, as temperatures climb to the 90s in Louisville, Algonquin is closed for repairs, leaving around 60,000 people — most of whom are Black and middle-or-lower income households — without convenient access to the water.
