Park district to design indoor pools for Randall Oaks and Sleepy Hollow; trustees seek cost breakdowns
Summary
Trustees heard that the park district approved designs for two indoor pools (Randall Oaks and Sleepy Hollow), with cost and line-item estimates due in about 6–8 weeks; trustees raised safety and land-availability concerns, especially crossing Randall Road.
An athletics committee representative reported that the park district approved moving forward with design work for both a Randall Oaks indoor pool and a Sleepy Hollow pool. The district will deliver design proposals with estimated costs in about six to eight weeks, after which trustees will review the line-item breakdowns for features such as water slides, a lazy river or splash pads.
Trustees emphasized safety concerns including how children would cross Randall Road to access a pool at Randall Oaks and noted land limitations the park district faces, which affects where a new pool can be sited. The presenter said the district is receptive to committee input and that the design step (phase 2) will provide the financial detail needed to make an informed decision.
The board did not make a formal decision on funding or siting at the meeting; the next step is to review detailed cost proposals when they arrive.
