The Kordes Korner



 

 

This photograph taken in the mid 1950’s is of the construction of the Garden City Pool. In the foreground is the main pool with the deep end (12 feet) in the lower half of the photo. This deep end was where the original pool had five diving boards. In the distance is the large stone wall by the entrance which is still there today. The three pool complex opened in 1957 and was hailed as a success from day one.

Over the years, the Garden City Pool complex has seen several renovations and not too much is left from 1957. However, it remains one of Garden City’s great success stories.
