The Taylorville Pool at Manners Park has had another setback. Maintenance Superintendent Gary Brown spoke at the Taylorville Park Board Meeting and reported that the pool is losing water-somewhere around 11-12,000 gallons a day to be exact. Brown thinks it might be in the scum gutters but they are unsure if that is the real reason.

Recreational Director Bailey Hancock says they do not have a date yet for when the pool will open. She says to check the Facebook page to stay current on what is going on.

Hancock also reported they are still in talks on the up-and-coming Taylorville Skateboard Park. The park passed a motion to donate some picnic benches forward to the parking lot on Main Cross behind the gas station next to the apartment buildings for the skateboarders to currently use. The board agrees that it should be built in phases which shows that the board is doing something now and has a good faith effort they will work on it in the future.

Hancock says there is still a long way to go but so far things are going well.

The next Park Board meeting is set for June 28th.
