North Providence pool facility to reopen after two years following underground explosion

NORTH PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — The North Providence Pool and Fitness Center will reopen Wednesday afternoon for the first time in two years.

The pool shut down in 2023 following an underground explosion due to a buildup of chlorine gas.

The mayor’s office told ABC6 that the pool underwent a complete overhaul.

The Mineral Spring Avenue facility reopens at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday.
