Peachtree City officials are planning to close the little-used Clover Reach pool for good this year.

But another victim of the Peachtree City budget crunch may be one of the city’s three remaining public pools.

The Pebblepocket pool may also be on the chopping block, as city councilmembers have directed recreation staff to close it as well.

Both pools are at least 30 years old and are among the first public pools in Fayette County.

In 2007, Pebblepocket had nearly 2,100 visitors compared to 2,558 at Glenloch.

In 2007 it cost $35,188 to operate Pebblepocket and $30,788 to operate Glenloch.

Recreation officials are still studying how to redevelop the Clover Reach pool into perhaps another recreation amenity.
