It was suppose to open during the Memorial Day holiday weekend, but South Bend’s Potawatomi Pool is still closed.
It’s because of the pool liner, which has gone bad… and there’s still no word when, or even if, the pool will open.
An official with South Bend Venues, Parks and Arts tells WNDU the liner has been patched repeatedly during the past few years and that it’s time to look for a long-term fix.
To help keep more kids cool, they’ve extended the hours at the Kennedy Water Playground and is reminding residents that are nine splash pads throughout the city.

Why has a new pool liner not been ordered years ago? Mishawka had the same problem and fixed their pool so the kids could benefit. Plan ahead ” Mar 11, 2021 — South Bend, Mishawaka and St. Joseph County together could receive almost $130 million in federal dollars through the COVID-19 relief” It seems South bend wastes money on studies and fraud ( see their Public Housing scandal) rather than invest in physical upkeep and maintenance for their citizen’s Think ahead managers !! Do not wait to Memorial Day to see you have a problem Now the pool will be closed all summer
News do a story on the $ 650,000 boom box Where is it now? How many times has it been used? Why buy a boom box and leave the pool closed all summer? Who was the boom box bought from?
SOUTH BEND, Ind.– The city of South Bend is investing approximately $50 million in improvements into shared public spaces through an initiative called My SB Parks & Trails.
The latest purchase under that initiative is Boomer, a $650,000 dollar mobile experiential vehicle. That number is causing controversy in the community.
