Pool Information
Because of her optimistic faith in the future and her interest in young people, Lena E. Moser bequeathed $150,000 to the City of Dallas Center for a municipal swimming pool which was built on land donated by the Brenton family and dedicated in 1982. It has been a wonderful amenity for our community but due to the age of our pool (the life span of a pool is roughly 30 years), and the fact that certain repairs would require the pool meet todays building standards and ADA compliance, a Swimming Pool Planning and Advisory Committee determined that a new pool would be more cost effective.
On June 23, 2021, the City Council approved proceeding with plans to construct a new pool. To view the report of findings from the Swimming Pool Planning and Advisory Committee and a rendering of the proposed new swimming pool click here.
On August 20, 2021, A Public Hearing to issue a Not to Exceed $2,900,000 General Obligation Local Option Sales and Services Tax Capital Loan Note was held in which the City Council was informed a petition had been filed with the Clerk requesting the issue be submitted to qualified voters of Dallas Center. This means at the November 2, 2021, Regular City Election voters will be able to vote on the City issuing the Not to Exceed $2,900,000 General Obligation Local Option Sales and Services Tax Capital Loan Note. For more information please click here.
July 19, 2022, City Council approved a construction contract with Sande Construction for the new swimming pool and work began at the end of the 2022 swimming season.
April 2023, work continues on the new swimming pool and bathhouse and we hope to be open in mid-June!
June 23, 2023, the new pool facility opened to the public.
Currently an organization named Friends of the Dallas Center Pool are raising money and looking into grants to help with this effort. Please visit them on Facebook at Friends of the Dallas Center Pool; or on their website www.dccpool.com
