$150,000 in 16 Months

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. - In October 2021, the Friends of Ella Redkey Pool and community supporters partnered with Ella Redkey Pool Staff in launching the Capital Campaign with the goal of funding upgrades and improvements at the Ella Redkey Pool including: 

  • Creation of an ADA walkway to allow greater access for all patrons to the pool & bathhouse, 

  • Enlarging the existing plaza to include a walkway to the new pavilion and new stairway to the pool deck, 

  • Replacing the water slide, and 

  • Improving the men’s and women’s locker rooms. 

With $75,590 secured, on Monday, February 6th, the City Council approved accepting grant funding from Oregon Parks & Recreation District in total of $75,000. With this grant acceptance, the $150,000 Campaign goal has been reached with a total of $150,590 secured…and four months sooner than anticipated.

The tremendous support provided by the community has made the proposed projects possible, from members to visitors and donors for which Ella Redkey Pool Staff and the Friends of Ella Redkey Pool extend their thanks and gratitude.
