The post PETITION TO SUPPORT & FUND MOUNT PLEASANT OUTDOOR POOL appeared first on Mount Pleasant Community Association.

Mount Pleasant Outdoor Pool was included in the Vancouver Park Board’s Aquatic Strategy in 2019, but is still not funded and is not in the 2027-2030 Capital Plan!

We are petitioning the Vancouver Park Board and City of Vancouver to work with us to identify possible sources of additional funding in order to plan and design a basic 25 metre outdoor pool in Mount Pleasant, and get a start on the construction of our much missed outdoor pool!

Just 2 blocks east of Main Street on E 7th resides Dude Chilling Park (formerly Guelph Park) In one corner atop a concrete slab reclines the Dude. An intriguing bronze sculpture by local artist Michael Dennis.
