ST. CHARLES, Mo. – The St. Charles Parks and Recreation Department is closing the McNair Aquatic Facility, effective immediately.
In a statement, the department said the water park had “major functionality and infrastructure issues,” the latest of which was a “substantial leak” beneath the pool shell. That leak is capable of draining the entire 165,000-gallon pool in days unless the pool is continuously filled.
The parks and rec department is soliciting ideas for the 2.5-acre area on its Facebook page. The next phase for the park will be announced later this year.
