V. FUTURE AQUATIC AVENUES Looking into the second year of the Edgewood Pool develop- ment plans, one will see further emphasis on new advertising methods, to educate inure local residents of the availability of the aquatic program. Organizational sponsorship or involvement will be sought out by such groups as; The Arth- ritic Foundation, Group Health Inc, and local corporate fit- ness programs. The School District -wide coordination will be expanded. A projected 1984 profit margin of approximate- ly $12,000 in surplus revenue will be recycled into addi- tional pool improvements. Such projects currently being researched include the expansion of the pool gallery seating capacity, outdoor "POOL" lettering for easier identification of the pool location, a new maxi -flex diving board, and a self-contained "turtle" pool cleaning system. The 1985 beach operation and procedures will basically remain the same, with the exception of a possible change in daily hours to better match the public's utilization of the facility (move beach hours up to 11:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. from the past season's 12:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.). Physical structure improvements may include (in order of importance): 1. A new dock system - One of the two current docks was dis- assembled two weeks prior to the close of the season for safety reasons. The new wooden docks could be made in- house at a reasonable rate. 2. A floating raft and lifeguard chair to be placed in the water. 3. Winterization and rental of the beach house structure. 4. Development of a tribute to the members of the original Playground, Inc. and Lakeside Park Commission. Possibil- ities include a flag pool commemoration, gardens and sit- ting area, as well as a permanent drinking fountain.
