Residents celebrate Roberto Clemente pool, reopened after 5 years

Residents and Islip Town officials crowded Roberto Clemente Park in Brentwood on Monday to celebrate the long-awaited reopening of the park's pool with a party complete with live salsa music, free food and extended swim hours. The pool opened last week for the first time in five years, after budget cuts, illegal debris dumping in portions of the park and much-needed renovation. Credit: Jessica Rotkiewicz
