AQUATIC HISTORY

A SPLASH BACK IN TIME 80 YEARS OF ST. CHARLES AQUATICS

In 1936, the City of St. Charles Parks and Recreation Department had been in existence for 22 years. The small community had 11,000 residents with one park. The 42 acre Blanchette Park had lit ball fields, tennis courts, a sunken garden, a green house and a concession stand. That year also saw the planning and construction for a swimming pool to become a reality. Plans and specifications were prepared and the City Council was petitioned to place a bond referendum in the amount of $25,000 before the voters. It passed on August 8, 1936 by a margin of 1,843 to 365. The St. Charles Parks and Recreation Board also received a federal grant in the amount of $40,000 to complete the project. The pool opened to the public on July 3, 1937, which was a rainy day with an attendance of 134 guests. The total attendance for the first swim season was 29,122. The new pool was not only popular to St. Charles City Residents, but was also a desirable destination for groups from all over the metropolitan area. It also was proud to open its doors to the United States Naval Reserve based out of Lambert Field for instructional swimming to complete one of the training requirements of the Naval Aviation Cadets. In May of 1977, the City of St. Charles opened its second aquatic facility at Boone’s Lick Park. Both Blanchette and Boone’s Lick pools were very popular and continued to show increased participation throughout the years. In 1991, City residents of St. Charles were asked to vote on a list of capital improvements with the motivating factor stemming from the 54 year old Blanchette Pool that was well past its expected life. An engineering study indicated that the 1991 season would have to be its last because of the multitude of mechanical and structural features needing upgrades for safe operations. The voters approved the bond referendum “Spruce’em up, Keep’em up” by a vote of 5,558 to 3,629. Construction of a new era of aquatic facilities began at Blanchette and McNair Park after the 1991 swimming season. These Aquatic Facilities went on to receive the “Excellence in Aquatics” Award from the National Recreation and Park Association in 1994. The final piece of our current aquatic system was to be at Wapelhorst Park. On April 4, 1995, voters passed a bond issue for $2.82 million dollars to help improve our parks because "Our community is improving, so should our parks!" The City Council added another $1.2 million to complete the aquatic facility along with other improvements in the Parks System. In the spring of 1996, the Wapelhorst Aquatic Facility opened to the public. That same year Boone’s Lick Pool closed out its final season. Since our 3 current facilities have been open, they remain very popular with our residents and regional groups with the average attendance of 100,000 guests annually. In 2014 as the aquatic facilities were nearing the end of their useful life, a comprehensive study was completed. After much planning, public input and thanks to the ongoing support of St. Charles City residents, Proposition P was passed by a margin of 8,477 votes for to 4,709 against, on August 2, 2016. We are very excited for the next step forward in providing high quality aquatic facilities to our great community. Our facilities were on the cutting edge when they were constructed in the 1990’s, and we are planning for the same outcome when we complete the brand new construction of the Blanchette Aquatic Facility and rehabilitation of the Wapelhorst Aquatic Facility! With much anticipation, we are very excited for the future of our aquatic facilities and look forward to their opening Memorial Day Weekend of 2018.

SAFETY IN THE PARKS! While out and about in the parks, the Ranger Division would like to remind you of a few safety tips and rules for everyone to have the most enjoyable experience:

• Do not leave valuables inside your vehicle in plain sight of others. Properly secure your belongings or leave them at home. • While exercising in the parks, carry a cell phone or have a buddy join you. • The speed limit within all parks is 15mph. Be vigilant and watch for pedestrians. • Please be sure that all fires within a BBQ pit are extinguished prior to leaving. • Dogs are required to be on a leash at all times and owners are responsible for removing pet waste. • Motorized vehicles may only be used on designated roadways and parking lots. • Please be courteous to other park visitors by picking up your litter and avoid disruptive behavior. • Keep It Close - keeping your phone close can not only save your life in an emergency, but also aid in saving the lives of others. To report a suspicious person, activity or vehicle of concern, call the St. Charles Police/Ranger Dispatch at 636-949-3309. We appreciate all eyes and ears within the parks and welcome comments. General observations can be made by calling the Parks and Recreation Administration Office at 636-949-3372. For immediate emergency response to report fire, medical emergency, or a crime in progress, dial 911.

EMERALD ASH BORER

Emerald Ash Borer is an Asian beetle that has infested and killed hundreds of millions of ash trees in North America and has made its way to Missouri. Its larva causes the most damage, feeding on the tree's inner bark interfering with its ability to transport nutrients it needs to survive. Help prevent it from spreading by recognizing its symptoms and catching it early on. Visit our website to learn more about this infestation and how YOU can help save a tree's life!
