The Palm Tree years

1948 - Pool under construction

1949 - Brand new Pool and Baby pool

Water filtration building was built downhill from the Pool

 

1957 - excessive rains caused a landslide, and so a bit of "reclamation" was done to cover the previously expose stream and create a children's playgouind. The turfed area at the pool was tiled.

1961

Deck, concrete sunshade added, and changing rooms built under the pool on top of the water filtration building.

after 1963 - Pool, "B" or Training pool and Baby pool

after 1968 - Baby pool moved to Children's play area
