In 1930 the athletic park was purchased and plans were completed for a swimming pool. The Auxiliary helped by purchasing stock each year for expenses, they later gave all the stock to the Post as a gift. The pool was dedicated Aug. 30th. with a cost of about $30,000. Many hours were spent each year getting the pool ready, cleaning and closing it at the end of the season. The pool was 17,000 sq. ft. in size; an addition was added in 1957, making the pool 22,000 sq ft. The post took over sponsorship of a Boy Scout Troop and a Cub Scout Pack 58 from the Fire Dept.
