Mirabella Pool Managed Well

The Mirabella Pool was managed by the Nazzaro Community Center and the City of Boston during the 2022 summer season in a professional manner.

Obviously, the pool was the place to be when the temperatures seared into the high 80s and 90s creating a heat wave that lasted for some time.

Managing a public pool is no easy task, but the pool was always clean and safe throughout the summer.

Reportedly, pool goers were happy with the way everything was presented by management.
