Mannington Swimming Pool

On June 1927 the City of Mannington, through grass root fundraising efforts, purchased eight and one-half acres from the heris of the late Mary Jane Hough for $6,000.  Pool construction began on June 26, 1930.  On the morning of August 27, more than 300 men assembled at the pool site and in less than ten hours the group managed to pour, tamp and dress 310 feet of concrete to construct 12 inch walls ranging from 16 inches to nine feet in height.  With much more work and dedication to the cause, the pool finally opened on July 2, 1931 to a capacity crowd.

The Mannington Pool now features a separate two to three foot kiddy pool as well as an adjoining three foot pool that gradually increases to ten feet with a diving board.  Showers and restroom facilities are available.  A concession stand is also on the premises.  All lifeguards are Red Cross certified in both rescue as well as adult and infant CPR.
