BEACON HILL—The state Department of Conservation and Recreation wants to reopen the Lee Memorial Wading Pool on the Charles River Esplanade after more than 15 years. But: "According to State Rep. Jay Livingstone, the minimum preliminary estimates for the rehabilitation of the pool and the building located on site range between $10 million and $15 million, but the facility doesn't currently appear in DCR's five-year capital plan."
