The Texas Pool Persists in Plano

Since the Texas Pool was built in 1961, Plano has grown from a rural town of 3,700 to a booming suburb to an economically and ethnically diverse edge city with a population crowding 300,000. All this time, its surface has been in a constant state of reinvention—stacked, demolished, and rebuilt like a 72-square-mile Legoland.
Through it all, the pool abides.

Eh. It was given a 'historical status' designation even though there are like a dozen Texas shaped pools in TX so everyone in the city helps fund it. If that hadn't occurred, it would probably have been closed. It's memberships are overpriced IMO for a so-so neighborhood pool, and they bulldozed the sand volleyball court next to it. The reason depends on who you ask, but the city was requested to do a noise study by nearby neighbors who thought kids' voices were too loud.
