That abandoned swimming pool would be a significant feature. Anyone know enough local history of the area to know where it would have been located? My thought would be a private property or private club of some sort, possibly where the two golf courses now stand.
I recall when the first Pan American Games were held here in 1967, the Field Equestrian Events were held in the Southern area of what is now called Birds Hill Provincial Park. A few of the obstacles jumps still stand. During construction of the course, contractors discovered a number of artillery and/or mortar shells, which slowed the work for a while. The media at the time indicated the area had been an active military training site during the war. No photo proof provided at the time. Nice to see it finally show up.
