Swimming Pool

In the late 1960’s a group of local residents formed Springfield Swimming Pool, Inc. with the goal of building a new, modern swimming pool for the community to enjoy. On July 2nd in 1971 that goal was met when the swimming pool was turned over to the City of Springfield and formally opened. While the lifeguard pay has gone up significantly, the annual family pool pass has remained within the reach for all members of the community. Not conceived as a money making venture, the Springfield Swimming Pool is a vital and important part of our summers and our quality of life.

Today, in August of 2023, a liner is being installed to assist in sealing the pool and its fifty year old cement.

It must still be 70 degrees for the pool to open for swimmers, as it was established back in 1971.
