Troy Social Summaries This Week

The Troy Family Aquatic Center will not open for summer 2027 because of failures in its aging underground systems, @troymichigan posted, and the Long Lake and Rochester roads intersection reopens Tuesday, Nov. 10. What local accounts posted between Nov. 1 and Nov. 8 follows.

Parks

Family Aquatic Center closed for summer 2027

The Troy Family Aquatic Center will not open for the summer 2027 season because of significant infrastructure failures that require extensive repairs, @troymichigan posted. The center lost water at an unsustainable rate in summer 2026, and a review by Department of Public Works and Recreation staff and outside leak-detection specialists found multiple failures throughout its aging underground systems rather than one or two isolated leaks. The minimum known repairs to reopen for summer 2028 are estimated at $1 million; repairs to significantly extend the infrastructure's use would likely include modernization and cost about $15 million. The city says it must now evaluate long-term solutions and decide the center's future.

Since 2020 the city has invested more than $1.6 million in capital improvements at the center, including more than $487,000 in fiscal year 2026 to resurface the pool with marcite, drawn from the Capital Fund. “Because repairs can only be done in the summer, the pool will be closed for the 2027 season,” City Manager Frank Nastasi said in the release. “We will keep evaluating its long-term future, and we hope community partnerships can be part of the solution.” The indoor leisure pool at the Troy Community Center, with slides, lap lanes and a separate therapy pool, remains open.
