Jasper’s New Municipal Pool is Taking Shape

At the Jasper Redevelopment Authority meeting early on Wednesday morning, attention was focused on the new municipal pool. After opening the meeting, a claim of $952,382.29 was approved for Taber Owens Construction Group. The claim was for construction work completed through March 31. 

Park Department Director Tom Moorman provided an update to the board on the pool’s construction progress. The diving platform and fence have been poured, and the flooring is complete in all of the buildings. Rock will be added to complete landscaping at the new tree line adjacent to St. Thomas Medical Center, and which is shared by both properties. The new trees have been planted, with twenty arborvitae and spruce trees now in place. 

New photos show that islands and sidewalks have been poured. The Ninja Cross, Water Tables, and Wet Deck have been installed. The sign, which will be designed in the same style as other local monument signs, will read “Jasper Municipal Pool.” Moorman said that a vendor training will be held at the Habig Center on Wednesday for Parks staff to learn about the badge making process. This will allow for season pass sales to begin. Pool pricing has been set, with daily admission of $5 and individual season passes for $60. Admission is free for guests 4 and under. Lockers will be available for $5. Party tent rentals are available at $50 for 3 hours, and pool party rentals are also available for groups of 25 or more.
