A historic photo shows the Green Street Pool in 1950. The pool was built in 1931, serving generations of Gainesville residents until its closure in 2008.
After nearly 80 years of service, the Historic Green Street Pool is finally being laid to rest. Demolition of the pool began Tuesday as part of Gainesville Parks and Recreation’s plan to renovate several public spaces. The pool has been closed since 2008 when the Frances Meadows Aquatic Center opened.
