Garden City Kansas Swimming Pool
That was soon after latino residents gained access.
Garden city kansas swimming pool. Elephants have swum in the big pool. Former garden city resident hank avila now 74 remembers taking swimming lessons at the pool in 1950 and 1951. Apart from being the world s largest hand dug pool it is an entire city block s worth of pure refreshment.
Built in 1922 the big pool is a real piece of western kansas history. Trust us it is much much more. During the may 19 city commission meeting the commissioners voted and approved to not open the big pool for it s final season in light of the covid 19 pandemic and the corresponding requirements of state and local health orders.
The big pool was hand dug and concrete poured by the people of garden city in 1921.
