Now wait a minute... I thought that they were demolishing the whole pool and moving it over to somewhere near the current baseball field and then making it some sort of 3' glorified wading pool so no one would have to actually swim - after all swimming is dangerous (sarcasm intended). I also thought that they were getting rid of the heavily used Glenlake Tennis Center.

Clearly I am quite clueless and out of the loop. Did the City finally come to its senses and abandon that plan?

I've added a link to the City's page on the master plan for Glenlake, Joe.

I don't recall a plan to move the pool.

Wow... OK, clearly I needed to pay more attention to that! Thanks!
