The William Grady Pool, a widely recognized landmark in Belvidere, is slated for demolition after the local park district granted approval. The district's decision was made during a recent meeting, setting a budget of $341,000 for the project. The pool has been out of use since last summer because of mounting maintenance costs and safety concerns.
Park district leaders assert that the pool has reached the end of its usefulness, and further repairs would be a wasted expense. During the meeting, they introduced a 10-year plan focused on the future of the district's aquatic facilities. It's still unclear what will happen to the exact location once the pool is demolished. Over 700 community survey responses, however, emphasize the community's hope for a new water feature in its place. A public meeting to discuss these future plans in more detail has been set for September 26th.
