Town of Paradise Pool Deal Stalls
The town of Paradise, Newfoundland and Labrador, is evaluating options to expand its recreational offerings, with a potential swimming pool emerging as a key priority for residents.
Currently possessing many of the amenities found in larger suburban communities, paradise lacks a public swimming pool. To assess feasibility, the town commissioned an engineering study from Stantec. The resulting report, obtained by the Shoreline News, estimates the cost of a state-of-the-art facility at approximately $67 million.
Public input has indicated strong support for a pool. Town officials sought feedback from residents, and a important number identified a swimming pool as a desired addition to the town’s infrastructure.
Mayor Patrick Martin emphasized a cautious approach to the decision-making process. He stated that the town council will not be rushed and will carefully consider all available information before reaching a conclusion. A final decision is anticipated in the coming years.
