Robin Hill Pool: The Next 50 Years Campaign
This is how the pool started, more than 60 years ago ... with neighbors pitching in to help build a pool for the neighborhood.
The developers of the Robin Hill neighborhood made a proposal: We will donate three lots if you can raise the money (and contribute time and effort) to build a pool
The result is the photo you see here, from 1956.
The caption reads, "Members of the Robin Hill Recreational Association pitch in with some volunteer labor at the construction site of the association's new swimming pool at Forty-Eighth and Valley Streets. The men are laying a rock wall and painting the bathhouse to help shave costs. The 25-thousand-dollar* private pool, to be used by families belonging to the association, is expected to open in about a week."
* $25,000 in 1956 would be equivalent to $211,095 today.
This campaign will help set the direction of the pool for the next 50 years and is already making a significant impact.
