Evergreen Aqua Pool post card

Vintage post card from the 1960's.

 

The buildings on the left were removed to make way for more people to lay out on towels. No chairs were allowed to be brought in and the pool did not provide any when I was still going in 1973.

 

Evergreen Aqua Pool opened for business with three pools in 1958. In 2008 they celebrated their 50th anniversary. Sadly a fatality, the first and only one took place in the later part of that summer. Due to poor attendance, high bond costs, general maintenance costs the pools held out one more season, closing in 2009.

 

The pools were never open to the general public. Village residents had to buy a yearly bond in order to go. Bond prices around 1970 got up to around $400 to $500.00

 

The season ran Memorial Day to Labor Day for the 51 years.

 

Demolished in 2016

 

The large yellow brick building off in the distance is Little Company of Mary Hospital. It was torn down in 2012-13.

 

Update: May 2017 Half of the property is a parking lot now and the other half will be green space.
