While the main focus for Taylorville Park District Recreation Director, Bailey Hancock, is Christmas in the Park, she and the rest of the Park Board are hard at work on getting Taylorville a new pool.

Hancock would also like to be able to bring a Zero Depth Splash Pad to the Taylorville Park District.

There are numerous benefits to a Splash Pad, including that they can be open both before the pool is open and after it is closed. 

The current pool at the Taylorville Park District was built in 1962 and according to Hancock they just weren’t built to last as long as this one has.

Bailey Hancock was a guest on the NEWSTALK WTIM Morning Show.
