Facility Reviews
I have been going to the Beban Park Pool for about 25 years. Over the years, there were several times when complaints regarding the high noise level were raised. At one time, swimmers even walked out.
It was better for a while but, over the last year, the noise has increased again. So I politely asked the staff to correct it - nothing! Twice I left comments at the front desk and was promised a call-back. Again - nothing happened.
I talked to other swimmers who showed me their earplugs and said "Why do you think we wear these?"
Is this fair to treat the public like this? Who benefits from the WAVE radio program that can't even be understood with the loudness and echo in the pool area?
Can there not be a Compromise? Either have certain times without the blaring noise, at all, or have soft elevator music.
