              Park Swimm ing Pool Completed
H
AST week the large outdoor
swimming pool in Hershey
. Park was completed and the
water turned in. The pool is
about 250 feet long and 100 feet wide at
the widest part. At the larger end the
water is- six and one-half feet deep.
From this end the bottom has a gradu-al
slope toward the narrow end where
the water measures three feet. After
the water was turned in it required two
and a half days to fill the pool.
The water is supplied from a spring
and is regulated through a smaller pool,
10 feet in diameter, into which the wa-ter
, from the spring first flows. By
means of a gate the water can. be shut
off or allowed to run into the larger
pool at will. .
The overflow from the smaller pool
goes in what will be an ice pond, lying
along the side of the larger pool and
with a surface level three feet lower.
The roadway along the . back of the
baseball field will pass along the edge
of the pool. The pool will be, used for
skating this 'winter but next summer
will be thrown open for swimming.;
