Overview

The Sullivan City Pool serves as a meeting grounds and summertime hub for people of all ages. The pool originally opened in 1963 and revitalization construction began on March 26, 2021 and was completed in July 2022. A ribbon cutting ceremony was held on August 30th and recognized all donors and supporters of the Sullivan Pool. These partners included Indiana DNR and READI as the biggest contributors to the project’s completion. The City plans to keep the pool property open longer than a standard swim season and use the pool deck as a space for events such as movie nights at the pool, senior aerobics classes, birthday parties, luncheons, and more! COVID-19 delayed the project but emphasized the importance of promoting outdoor activities and a healthy lifestyle. The intended outcome for the Sullivan Pool is to create a place where residents and visitors throughout West Central Indiana and beyond can spend the day being active at the pool with water aerobics, crossing the lily pad walk, climbing the rock walls and swimming. To receive updates on the pool and the activities taking place, visit the pool’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/SullivanCityPool/. The City plans to track success of the pool by number of visitors each year, number and types of events, concession stands, and classes/spots filled. The City will utilize funding set aside in a parks operations fund that will go towards upkeep to ensure the pool is kept up to date.
