Forum scheduled on new Des Plaines pool
The Des Plaines Park District invites the public to a public forum on Wednesday, Nov. 3 to discuss plans for a state-of-the-art pool at Chippewa Park.
The forum is 6-8 p.m. at Prairie Lakes Community Center, 515 E. Thacker St. The park district is committed to keeping a pool in Chippewa Park, 197 N. 8th Ave. and the forum will show residents a proposed timeline for the new pool and discuss financing, conceptual plans and possible features.
Preliminary plans for the pool include six lap lanes and a zero depth entry with water play equipment features.
The present Chippewa Pool is more than 40 years old. Public input is encouraged at the forum or by emailing pr@desplainesparks.org.
A questionnaire and conceptual plans will be available for public comment after Nov. 3. For information contact Executive Director John Hecker, jh@desplainesparks.org.
