Friends of Washington Park Pool

Friends of Washington Park Pool "Support Washington Park Pool" We wish to keep our local downtown pool open. Our message is 3-fold:
1. Use Washington Pool
2.

Ask for small upgrades of the pool
3. Tell the City Council what we want the up-grades to be.

I know it does not feel like time to think about our Summer Swimming Pool, but ...
We need public input.

1. Are you aware that the city is considering demolishing Washington Pool and replacing it with another Splash pad? Please share your thoughts on this and sharing with anyone you can think of. We need your input and involvement. Thank you.

We need your support and help. We are having meetings to gather ideas for the continuation of keeping our Washington Pool open and running for years to come. The city has been very kind to work with us for ideas of how to lower the operational costs and still keep our pool open. If you are interested in being a positive supporter with ideas about how to move forward. Please give us your e-mail and we will include you in our meeting contacts. Thank you in advance, Rhonda
If you would rather, you could PM me at 307-259-7499, and reference it as Washington Pool supporter.

We did have a very informative meeting with some Parks and Rec folks today. They are wanting to work with us as to ways we can keep our pool open. As we all know, Casper is dealing with huge financial burdens and funding cuts. We are asking for your help to come up with constructive feedback and /or funding ideas for our pool. We were made aware today that the main issue is paying for the required staff of the pool i.e. lifeguards, managers and reception staff. We have started brainstorming and will continue to keep you all informed as we go along. Thank you ahead of time for your support and ideas.

URGENT Notice! Once again, our beloved pool is getting looked at to be demolished and replaced with a splash pad. We need to stand behind the Importance of the centrally located open swimming water provided by Washington Pool.
We encourage all of our followers to contact their city representative to discourage this. Please voice your concerns to the Aquatics director, Edwin Luers and the Project Manager: Zulima Lopez about this proposed endeavor. We also encourage you to look at the City of Casper website: with focused attention on
1. Park Planning & Updates
2. Casper Area Parks and Recreation Master Plan

“Consultant Recommendation”:
Aquatics
1. Replace Washington Park pool with a signature splash
pad. The Casper area has more pools than most
communities of comparable size and several need repair.
We believe that it makes sense to remove the pool
at Washington Park and replace with a signature
splash pad that offers universal access and serves
as a destination amenity in the Casper parks system.

At this time, this is only a Recommendation is what we were told!
