Union Park Now: The Children's Wading Pool 4

The Children's Wading Pool today, Union Park, Dubuque, IAThis is a photo of the wading pool as it appeared in the Fall of 2008. The cement work is actually in very good condition although it's difficult to see with all the mud. This photo is taken facing towards the entrance of the park. As you can see the water stagnates in the pool. There is a small trench or crack in the upper left hand side of the pool; the trench was put in to drain the water. The plumbing is still intact, but is plugged up.

The dirt is encroaching on the top of the cement and covering it up. If it is not cleared soon, plants will start to grow and the pool will deteriorate even more. You can already see that happening on the lower left hand side of this photo. Hopefully, someone will clean up the debris one day.

This was cleared of plants and mud in a combined 146 hours of boy scout service work on 10/25/14. All cement from the pond is completely clear of plants and mud as of this posting.
