The redevelopment of the pool in Enmore park has been given the go ahead as the development application has been approved. I expect that the current pool will soon be a big sandpit. The pool was originally to be the same size as the existing 33m one, but vocal community members convinced the Council to blow their budget and rebuild with a 50m pool. The main argument was that Marrickville Council does not have a 50m Olympic pool, as the Fanny Durack pool in Petersham is 25m. Marrickville, being a large and relatively affluent council, conceded the argument.
