Menasha Pool

Expect Large Crowd to See Menasha Pool

MENASHA - A large opening day crowd is expected to pass through the doors of Menasha’s new $400,000 swimming pool, Sunday at 2 p.m.

The filling of the pool with water began at 9 a.m. Thursday and was completed by noon today. 

The main pool, bathhouse, water treatment building and all electrical and plumbing work has been completed.  Cleaning and painting in the small wading pool remains.  The public will be asked to cooperate by staying out of the incompleted sections.  Rope barriers will be erected prior to the Sunday opening.

Capacity of the Menasha pool, when the two smaller pools are put into use, will be 1,300.  Hourly checks will be made to keep the number of swimmers in safe limits.

One of the features of the pool, the bleacher deck on top of the bathhouse, is also expected to be busy Sunday.  Open free of charge, this area can accommodate 700.
