I remember 2 years ago, all the hype about the city not
being able to afford the upkeep on the old pool and possibly
shutting it down. Low and behold a year later, we have a
nice, new, beautiful facility? If they were going to raise
the prices, I believe it should have been done last year
with the innaugural season. What was last year, a teaser
year? Come on...If you're not making enough money, shame
on you for building this extravagant water park in the first
place. There is NOTHING in this town for kids to do as it
is except go to the pool and play ball which doesn't even
touch the summer months anymore. Leave well enough alone
and lets the kids SWIM at the original price for a few
years. They didn't, afterall, ask for an elaborate water
park. They just want a pool where they can hang out with
friends, cool off in the heat, and have fun without getting
into trouble on the streets. You should have thought about
the price of staffing and revenue when you asked all of Mt
Vernon's business people to build such a facility.
Sometimes simple is better and the outcome would have been
the same. Happy kids having fun in the summer.

Do I like the idea of raising the price? Of course not, but
I will pay it anyway because where else am I going to take
my kids? I don't necessarily think an increase is going to
stop many of us who already go to the pool on a regular
basis from continuing to go.

To me raising the pool rates is pointless. the pool is for
children and families so boostin the prices will make it
that much harder for them to get in because not everyone has
the extra money to pay for fun and recreational activities
such as swimming at the publicpool. plus there aint enough
positive programs or things for kids to do in mount vernon
as it is. if anything my vote is to keep them the same if
not lower them. Im sure it will be appreciated.

My grandfather helped build Community Pool before the
Country Club had one so every child in Mt. Vernon had the
opportunity to learn to swim. These were his words to my
mother on why the Country Club didn't have a pool. His
vision was to see that swimming was affordable to all not
just the privileged. I hope that others will take this into
consideration and continue improving the community. I had a
wonderful childhood at Community Pool and best of all I
could ride my bike there!

not want to go. We go out of town anyways.

Everyone in Mount Vernon is looking for a free handout. All
the poor parents in this town use the pool as a babysitter
and should be ashamed of themselves for it. I guess they
need to so they can shop at Wal-Mart in peace...I'm moving.

The pool is okay, but it was pretty dirty last year. The
bathrooms stunk and children under the age of 13 were there
without adult supervision. There needs to be more employees
watching the kids as most parents use this place as a
babysitting facility during the summer. I have 2 kids and
went each and every time with them. I bought passes for them
and paid for me each time. There is just no where to swim
for an adult. The pools were always too conjested and the
kids were rude for the most part. I'll stick with the YMCA
when I can. There is no use fighting the price increase, it
will be raised regardless....

For the nice facilities that are provided, close to home and
a clean, fun place for families to go--the rate increase is
minimal. Let's be honest--if you drive to Columbus or
Coshocton, spend the money for extra gas, take along extra
items (since you are going out-of-town)--let's face it--it
is still a pretty reasonable price. I have talked to several
people who used to go to other towns to use a nice facility.
Some people appreciate the pool, I guess it is just the
ones who like to complain that speak up. By the way,
Sam--do you forget that in America "we are ALL created
equal"? Next question--how do you know with the present
economy that you might not be one of those "poor
people" someday? Ever had a physical condition that
took you down financially? Ever had the unexpected loss of a
job? But for the grace of God you could be "Poor".
Maybe you need to drive to a location that fits your
"class" of people. It's quite obvious from your
statement you have plenty of money. Shame on you!!

I think the pool is high enuff, dang near dround my cousin's
oldest last year. I got on her back when we was playin

us that the water anit no deeper.

last year for my 4 boys wife and my self and it was enuff

year because of the price. why make it more. The city just
wants more and more

Shame on you, Sam. Whoever can afford to pay the price
deserves to be there. You're a low-life loser. Maybe you and
your family should play near the fire hydrant!

I think they SHOULD raise the price. Maybe we can keep the
poor people out this year and keep the pool a little
cleaner. They should play in the street near the fire
hydrant.

supply and demand

we dont supply and they
demand. The pool was a hit last year because it was new. The
new feeling will be over this year and many will find their
way to cheaper locations. if they want a "water
park" they will go and pay for a real water park. As
for a "pool" there is elsewhere. Those that go
good for them.

to swim and have fun.. now they want to raise the prices sky
hi just like the old poll and attendance wasw way down, at
one time they were going to close it (old one) but came up
with a cadilac pool...
Every Student in the area should
have Free acess to it with their student Id or pay like
$1.00 per day to use it.
Get real Mt Vernon money

I think that big concrete pool is plum crazy any how. There
is plenty of swiming holes around the county for little ones
to play in for free. Ain't nothing wrong with playing in the
crick or a livestock pond. That's what we done as kids and
it didn't cost us a cent.

It's a bad idea. Although I do not use the facilities I
realize Knox Co. is not a wealthy area. Therefore, people
may not be able to afford to take their families. This means
more kids out on the streets getting into mischief.
