Ash Park Master Plan

How can the City of Coatesville make Ash Park better for you and members of your household?

The City of Coatesville is developing a Master Plan for potential future improvements in Ash Park. To understand how the park could be better for our community, the planning team needs your input. Your answers about Ash Park and the closed swimming pool will guide the Master Plan and help the City prioritize potential changes including whether to repair the pool. Your answers will also help the City decide if or how to pay for improvements and future operating costs. Thank you for taking the time to help us plan for possible improvements to Ash Park to benefit our whole community!

Question Title

* 8. The swimming pool in Ash Park has been closed. Estimates show that it would cost about $1,000.000 to fix the pool, bathhouse, deck, and other related items. Fixing the pool would include basic repairs for the safety, comfort, and enjoyment of the pool users. Some of that can be paid for with grants matched with city funds. Operating the pool could cost $50,000 - $100,000 a year. Some of that could be paid for with fees from pool users and city support. How do feel about the pool? Please check the responses that best describe how you feel about the pool.

The City should fix the pool even though it would cost about $1,000,000 with grants and city support.

The City should not spend money on the pool and improve Ash Park without a pool.

The City should remove the pool and put in a family splash area with water features to play in but no swimming pool.

The City should work with the School District in creating an indoor multi-purpose aquatics center.

The City should leave the pool as is and do nothing.
