 Alvin and Wenonah Musgrove, long time
residents of Olney, donated approximately 20 acres of land to the City
of Olney to be used at a park. In May of 1997 the Dr. Monte Musgrove
Aquatic Center was opened. The Aquatic Center was named after Mr. and
Mrs. Musgrove's late son.
Future plans for the Alvin Musgrove Park are currently being
developed. The City of Olney did |
receive a grant from the
Illinois Department of Natural Resources for the
planting of several trees in the park. These trees were planted
during the 1998 season.
The most recent addition to the Park is the Wenonah Musgrove
Recreation Area which features a playground area, shelter, lighted
basketball courts and a soccer field.
|
The Aquatic Center is located at 305 E. Florence
which is located on N. Silver Street near E. Mack Avenue and
consists of a 395,000 gallon swimming pool complete with bathhouse,
water slide and water umbrella. The facility provides an aquatic
experience for people of all ages. The facility provides a zero
depth entry area for easy access into the water.
The facility features a 190 foot water slide, an 8
lane, 25 meter competition area; a diving well area with 2, 1 meter
diving boards; a concession area; a picnic area with picnic tables
and umbrellas; a bathhouse with showers and lockers and a
professional certified staff.
