clarkdale pool closed for winter (and closed for years)
Located behind the Clarkdale Clubhouse, with a striking view of the Sycamore Canyon, and Sedona in the distance, the historic Clarkdale Pool has been closed for several years. Apparently the maintenance costs are more than the town can bear, and revenue from pass sales isn't enough to handle the expenses either.
We always enjoyed refreshing dips in the pool. It's just up the trail from our lower town neighborhood. I loved standing in our front yard and hearing the kids splash and shout "Marco! ... Polo!", and the occasional whistles from the lifeguards, reminding that there was No! Running!
Clarkdale councilman Richard Dehnert has spent the past couple of years working on raising funds to re-open the pool for Summer 2011.
