-Lots a great memories here😀
-There will be 3 buildings on the site when its done the sign says.
-They are only going to build one condo this year Richard,I live in Victoria Gardens could be a noisy summer,but these new ones are quite pricy starting at the low $400,00 and this is a small unit about 800 square feet,these are not affordable for many people who only have their pensions
-I looked at some of the list prices around the old spots. The $45,000 townhouses on Mountainview are almost half a million dollars now too. Once upon a time, we didn't have granite for anything but headstones - now its kitchen countertops.
-Doug and I looked to purchase a condo. there, and trust me, there is nothing for the low 400’s. These are a very pricey item! We were going to buy, and rent it out. Did not make financial sense to me !
-Spent many summer days at that pool .
-I never learned to swim, but saw it on the way to school. It opened and closed with the school year, if I recall.
-Yes it did. Then lessons in the morning and public swim in afternoon and evening. I often went swimming 3 times a day. The sounds of summer from our house on the hill were the children's voices, the lifeguards whistles when they did their safety checks of the pool, and the 'boing' of the diving board.
-and pools were not heated then
-No they weren't. In July it was life shattering to jump in😨
-Still can’t master the Elementary Back stroke...... lol
-Great summer memories
-Now when it hot a shit out you have to go to the indoor pool
-Lot of old memories at that place
-So sad. Spent a lot of time there.
-Outdoor pool thing of the past now it's indoor pools and splash pads. Once your too old for splash pad then it's indoor pools to look forward to
-Learned to swim there😲
-Times there are a changing. I loved that swimming pool.
-Built by the Lions Club and a source of fun for all for many years.
-That's a real good old memory! What street was the outdoor pool on?
-Mill st. Behind old arena
-thank you! we lived down on Duncan Drive so we didn't get to go there too often but I still have lots of fond memories of having been there :)
-Many memories at that pool.
-Dayfoot Dr. And mill street old areana
-Love the pictures Bonnie. As we do not live in Georgetown now it is nice to see how things have changed
-This is where I learned to swim, remember the metal tag we would pin on our suits for the basket we kept our belongings in, also putting our feet in a container to get rid of our bugs lol
-Used to bike there, swim, then go to 'Jean's' for ice-cream!
-From what I have been told, there was at one time a slaughterhouse on the site where the pool was.
-CORRECT
-Sad. My dad's old house is to the left of the church on the hill at the bottom of Morris Street. Actually, town plans show Morris Street coming down hill to parking lot.
-What a shame.
-Where did it go
-Dick Lacata (spl) Donated money for this pool also. We school kids sold raffle tickets to help raise money for the pool, Anyone remember that. It was called the Dick L. Pool back in the day.
-That's what I was thinking - I think a Lions Club member?
-Very sad over 20 years of swimming with friends and family. It was an awesome spot as a kid and a shame the kids today will never be able to build bonds as we all did.
-"The pool opened in the fifties after the Georgetown Lions Club raised most of the funds for the $50,000 capital project and then handed the property over to the Town, according to a front page article in the Georgetown Herald in August 1956. It celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2006. This was also its last year open, with an operating budget of $52,500 from the tax base.
-In 1980, the outdoor pool was renamed the Dick Licata Memorial Swimming Pool in honour of the man who played a vital role in its planning and construction. Licata was a member of the Lions Club. A local grocer, he also served with the local chamber of commerce."
-I learned how to swim at that pool,along with a lot of other kids.
-Oh wow I spent most of my youth in that pool
-The pool is still there just buried under truckloads of foil Ron and I watched this for many days
-That where my parent live on 16 victoria st across to see pool there....
