Because summer is better with a high dive.
After 50 years, our pool needs resurfacing before it can open for the 2027 season. Help us protect the place our neighborhood has loved since 1968, high dive and all.
In the simplest terms, our beloved pool is losing thousands of gallons every season. To open safely for 2027, it needs to be resurfaced, a project that pools undergo every decade or so. Oak Park hasn't been resurfaced in 50 years.
The board is now meeting with our first resurfacing contractor to scope the work and timeline, with the goal of opening fresh for the 2027 season.
A few months ago, that number felt almost impossible. It took leadership pledges from generous families, $200 resurfacing donations, and members voluntarily paying their dues early, but our community got here together. The board is now meeting with our first resurfacing contractor to scope the work and timeline. The project is real, the planning is underway, and the finish line is in sight.
If you've been waiting to see whether this could happen, here's your sign. Your gift won't fund a "maybe someday" project. It will help complete an effort that is actively moving forward.
Whether you can give $50, $500, or $5,000, every dollar brings us closer. One-time gifts and multi-year pledges both help.
Local businesses can support the campaign and reach neighborhood families. See sponsorship levels.
Watch for a benefit dinner at a local restaurant and fun social events through the season. Mahjong, anyone?
Consider your donation an investment in the community and the vitality of our beautiful neighborhood. Thank you for your generosity and your neighborly spirit.
