Melissa Redpill(@MelissaRedpill):This is why we can’t have nice things! 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪 The National Park Service (NPS) is installing or has recently installed fencing around the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C. This is tied to the pool’s high-profile 2026 renovation (including a blue liner/coating for America’s 250th anniversary), which has faced ongoing issues like algae blooms, peeling, and reported vandalism/tampering. Current Status (as of June 23–24, 2026) • Workers are putting up temporary chain-link fencing to secure the site during further repairs, cleaning (e.g., hydrogen peroxide and nanobubble treatments), and to limit public access/tampering.
