💦 Couldn’t make it to our Pool Concept Workshop? Here’s what happened:

👥 Our consultants presented 3 pool concepts — renovation, replacement, and expansion.
📝 Community members broke into groups to prioritize amenities: what’s essential, what’s wanted, and what’s non-essential or “nice to have.”

Now it’s your turn! 🙌 Help shape the future of our community pool by taking our quick survey.

Thanks to Historic Hood River for this throwback of the Hood River City Pool when it was only 10 years old. There have been a number of retrofits over the years including a tent enclosure installed 30 years ago. Some of the original plumbing is still in use today. https://www.hoodriverhistorymuseum.org/hood-river-city-pool/
