Recreation

Since the 1950's, the W.T. Morris Memorial Pool has been a favorite summer recreation spot for many area families. In 2005, the existing 50-year old pool was replaced with a new $400,000 heated pool that is handicapped accessible and has a new deck and improvements to the bath house. The new pool was built with the help of a Land and Water Conservation Fund grant and public donations. Daily swimming, including evening and weekend hours, allows plenty of time for relaxing. Swimming lessons and water aerobics are also given during the weekdays. You can enjoy sun bathing, cooling off on a hot day, or you can provide a fun activity for the kids while you shop downtown. The pool is located on North Mill Street just north of St. Louis' downtown shopping area. Call City Hall for hours and schedules at (989) 681-2137.

In the summer of 2010, local artist Elizabeth Mills organized a project in cooperation with the City and the St. Louis Public Schools to have a mural painted on the W.T. Morris Memorial Swimming Pool bath house.

 

Over 80 children were involved in painting their own flower on the wall and Elizabeth added some artwork of her own and put on the final touches. 

 

Thanks to everyone who was involved in the Children's Mural project.  It is a nice addition to the pool and the downtown area!
