Meadowlane Community Pool

The Meadowlane Pool team extends its sincere appreciation to City Councilman James Michael Bowers, Justin Carlson, and Brodey Weber for their continued support and encouragement.
Although the City of Lincoln is unable to invest financially in this vital community resource—one that teaches water safety, encourages healthy recreation and positive youth activities, and strengthens family bonds—many others throughout our community have stepped forward.

To date, hundreds of individuals, public and private foundations, local businesses, and corporate partners have rallied to support Meadowlane Pool. Local engineers and contractors have donated their time and expertise toward reopening the pool, while the Lancaster County Visitor Improvement Fund has recognized the importance of restoring a community resource that will draw patrons from across the county and beyond.

This is not the end of our efforts - we continue to pursue other avenues and opportunities to help bring Meadowlane Pool back to life. We are approximately 80% funded, but renovations must begin soon to help ensure that Meadowlane Pool can reopen next spring.

We welcome your continued encouragement, generosity, and support. For those who have asked how to make a financial contribution, please visit https://www.meadowlaneparkassociation.com/

Thank you! 💦
