Outdoor Pool Community Input

Jamestown Parks and Recreation District is excited to begin planning for the future of our community’s outdoor pool and invites residents to be part of the conversation. Following the April 29 Open House, this page will serve as a central hub for project information, including concepts shared during the meeting, planning details, and opportunities for continued community input. Whether you attended the open house or were unable to join us, we encourage you to review the information and share your thoughts. Your feedback will help shape a space that meets the needs of our community for years to come.  Read the information below, then please feel free to offer your input at the link on the bottom of the page.
