Cahoon Pool did that very admirably for about 50 years or until about 1980. Our community, trends, families, and needs are not the same as they were in previous years. Cahoon Pool is scheduled to open Memorial Day weekend, May 23, 1998. The morning hours are devoted to lessons, seniors and lap swimming. Cahoon Pool is located in a beautiful setting in Cahoon Park.
Parking is limited and it is surrounded by a residential area.
The site is compact making it difficult to expand. If we add amenities like a waterslide to meet the needs of the public, we increase attendance. Increased attendance means more parking is needed, which is not available, and, more people will come to the park which will impact negatively on the surrounding residences. We have averaged about 29,000 in attendance for the past several years with approximately 3,500 different users over the summer season. Most of our users are youth, ages 5-11 years old.
