Air-Supported Pool Cover

The Goldendale pool is covered during the non-summer months by an air-supported structure

manufactured by Yeadon. The funding for the cover was provided by the Wilma Olsen estate,

and the project was a joint venture between the City of Goldendale and the Central Klickitat County

Parks and Recreation District, which manages the pool.


The cover takes one day to take down, and two days to put back up. While it is not a complicated

process, it does take quite a few strong people working in teams to accomplish, as the slide in the

middle of the pool facility is not removable, so the cover has to go up over, and come down over,

the slide structure. Lifeguards, parents, and the Goldendale football team assist with the project.

Additional help is always welcome.


The cover will be coming down on June 12, 2010, and the pool will be closed for the day.
