Southeast Missourian, May 18, 1961
Where youngsters once swam there's now a formal garden. The River Hills Garden Club is creating a formal garden on the site of the old swimming pool at Capaha Park. Members of the club designed the attractive layout shown here. Members working on the plot Monday were Mrs. W.E. Walker Jr., Mrs. L.S. Bunch, Mrs. R.B. Potashnick, Mrs. C. Roy Rudolph, Mrs. L.W. Simmons, Mrs. E.H. Cadwallader, Miss Ione Hirsch. (Photo by G.D. Fronabarger)
Here are pictures taken in 2010 of the old pool site.
