| The OES visited the Scioto Trail Pool on February 9, 2002. Located on South High Street in Columbus, this pool had been in operation since 1960, before it closed for good a few years ago. Many people were sad to see the pool close, as it was the only public (membership) pool on the far south end of the city. There's a big for sale sign that stands next to the road today. When we visited, it was pretty clear that the pool hadn't been used for a long time. There were weeds and grass growing through the cracks of the pool floor, the diving boards were gone, and the bottom of the pool was very dirty in places. We tried to enter the pool house, or get into the grounds of the pool, but it was locked up tight. There was a boat that was under the roof of one of the shelter-house like buildings, so maybe the owner still uses it for storage. Not too far behind the grounds of the pool are a couple of houses that look like people still live in. A month after we visited the Scioto Trail Pool, Southland Self Storage purchased the property and tore down the pool and the used car lot next door to it. Now the only thing remaining of the Scioto Trail Pool are the memories of those who spent their summers keeping cool in the pool for more than 25 years. |
