The Public Works Department keeps the pool area and adjacent Tangle Creek Community Park well-groomed.

The Cuba, Missouri Municipal Pool  at 500 Belden Avenue is an asset to the community and provides some wonderful summer memories for the kids of Cuba. The Public Works Department has been keeping the pool grounds and nearby park mowed and looking good. There are also two basketball courts nearby for some games of round ball.

This summer Monica Sagehorn and Ginny Pope are co-managing the pool and seem to be making it a successful summer destination. Each week they publish the Cuba Pool News in the Cuba Free Press to keep everyone up-to-date on the latest happenings.  It seems that the pool is conducting a lot of contests to keep the kids busy, such as Best Trick, Marco Polo, and Sharks and Minnows.

Since it has been one hot summer, business is booming and the pool is a real kid magnet. There have been Family Nights and some Bible Schools have had their meetings there. Well-attended Teen Nights and other special events take place to take the sizzle out of summer. The last Teen Night will be Friday, August 12. After that the kids return to school, and the pool will be open on weeekends until Labor Day. Call 885-9111 with questions or to book parties or special events.

It’s fun and fitness at the Cuba Pool this summer! Like them on Facebook as Cuba Swimming Pool for updates.

There are no kids in this 19 second video of the pool and its water feature, but you can imagine the shouts of “Watch This” and “Let’s Do It Again.”
