Lenexa is wrapping up the latest phase of a years-long study of its outdoor aquatics services in an attempt to gather more public input after residents opposed previous plans to close at least one city pool. At issue for the city is finding a way to balance residents’ desires and needs for existing pools with fiscal responsibility in paying for them. A study of the city’s pools completed in 2019 concluded, in part, that the city’s three outdoor pools are too expensive to maintain and don’t get enough yearly visitors collectively to warrant all of them remaining open.
