September 27 Board Meeting - Updates Regarding Sleepy Hollow Pool

Friday, August 25, 2023

The Dundee Township Park District invites the community to the upcoming September board meeting for a presentation about the current condition of Sleepy Hollow Pool. The meeting will be hosted at Sleepy Hollow Pool on September 27 at 6:00 pm. The Dundee Township Park District Board of Commissioners and Park District staff will share information about the pool's current condition, address the community's growing concerns, tour the aquatic facility, and provide the public an opportunity to ask questions. This meeting will be a first step in getting community input regarding future aquatic needs.

For over 60 years, Sleepy Hollow Pool has operated as an outdoor aquatic facility. This past spring, during the April 19 board meeting, the decision was made by the Board of Commissioners to keep Sleepy Hollow Pool open through the 2025 season, provided the integrity of the pool shell allows. Since that decision, the pool shell has continued to deteriorate and lose water around its perimeter at an escalated rate.

We encourage the community to attend the scheduled meeting. The information shared during the meeting will be shared on the park district website (www.dtpd.org) following the meeting. The Park District will continue to share information regarding Sleepy Hollow Pool on the park district website, email, and social media.
