Who remembers the swimming pool at Bruce Beach

Inweekly is interested in talking to people who remember the “colored” swimming pool at Bruce Beach. If you look at the construction documents closely -slightly right of the center, you can see the note regarding an abandoned concrete swimming pool on the edge of the mitigation area.

I spoke with Commissioner Lumon May who said his father led the fight to close and fill in the pool after several African-Americans drowned at the city facility.

If you remember the pool and have any details about the drownings at the facility, please email me at rick@inweekly.net.
