§ - Sunday, February 26, 1989 - Lynn Valley Echo

Alternative proposed to LV leisure pool

Dear Editor:

The front page article of the
Jan. 29 edition of the Lynn Valley
Echo states that “‘Pool Plans Pro-
ve Costly.””

There are always cost overruns
on these sort of expensive com-
munity projects, but perhaps now
is the chance to offer input for
alternatives to a pool at Karen
Magnussen.

As I suggested once before, and
having spoken with the odd swim-
team coach on the North Shore at
one or more pools, a 50-metre pool
in Lynn Valley Recreation Centre
would be a fantasy-dream come
true. It would also provide a cen-
.trally located outlet for many Lynn
Valley youth.

Though the playing field there is
understandably greatly valued by
many, there is still Argyle school
and other fields around for use.

As a member of the Lynn Valley
Community Association and the
Youth Advisory Council, I would

The ultimate dream, of course,
would be to ‘relocate the playing
field on top of the pool, but the
costs, although a challenge to ar-
chitects and builders, would of

thought is there.

Lynn Valley needs enhancement

Lynn Valley Centre has lost sev-

the mall owners are not realistic
about rent hikes.

The stores there now are an
unusual cross section and the re-
maining ones do not serve all the
needs that a mall should provide.

A pool in Lynn Valley’s centre,
even a 25-metre one, and adjacent
facilities might help keep this
