KTLA TV Open Miguel Contreras Pool!

KTLA's Jaime Chambers interviews The City Project's Robert Garcia. In the summer of 2007, the community demanded that the new Olympic size pool at Miguel Contreras high school be open after school and on weekends. A year later, city and school officials are telling the community to go jump in a lake. The pool will be open only for a few select high school students lucky enough to get into a summer school swim class -- and off limits to everyone else. http://www.cityprojectca.org/blog/archives/796

The pool opened to the community during the summer of 2008, after a year of organizing by The City Project. This is a best practice example for the shared use of schools, pools, and parks. Visit The City Project web site for more details.
