City asking for public comments on entire plan

A couple of new pools could be in the future for La Crosse.

In the city parks department’s just-released five-year strategic plan, pool upgrades are listed for both the city’s Forest Hills Golf Course and the current Memorial Pool site.  

A pool used to be at Forest Hills but was removed by the city several years ago.

The parks dept. has talked about replacing the 80-year-old Memorial Pool because of its deteriorating condition and high-maintenance costs. 

Several other projects are in the department’s strategic plan, including a new clubhouse at Forest Hills. 

The dept. is currently seeking public comments on the five-year plan, which can be found here.

The strategic plan calls for updates at a number of parks as well as updated plans for all of the city’s trail systems.  

Other projects in the plan include bathhouse and pool updates at Memorial.
