I-Pool, 1964:
By 1990, when these photos were taken, the pools were showing their age. Each year there were repairs required to the concrete structure. Since the pools were not covered during the winter they had to be drained and cleaned each spring. Most years the pools were also painted.
The photos below show the pools in spring 1990 and the work required to prepare them for the summer.
This photo is looking north. The future location of the mini-golf course is behind the campers and the kitchen windows can be seen in the distance. 1958.
