The Legion Pool In Kingsport Won’t Likely Be Opening Up Anymore. The City’s Parks And Recreation Advisory Board Is Recommending The Pool Be Immediately Closed And Demolished As Soon As Possible. The Opinion Was Born From A Request Made By Mayor Dennis Phillips Four Months Ago When He Asked City Staff To Consider Whether Legion Pool Should Remain Open After The Aquatic Center Opens. This Year, The Pool Leaked 8.7 Million Gallons, Which Is Enough To Have Filled The Pool 17 Times.
