How Many Pools Cedar Rapids Should Have
Community pool standards vary with no official rule. Cedar Rapids with 90 000 residents would need 2 700 pool spaces per National Recreation Commission and six pools per Athletic Institute estimates. With proposed pools totalling 24 850 square feet the city would still fall short of the NRC target, and Cedar Rapids growth supports expanding capacity by adding all three pools. Voters urged to approve the three proposed pools next Monday.
