Project Description
Using the space provided, describe the essential components of your project. Describe the need for
the project, the increased recreational value it will provide, and why County funds are needed.
1. PROJECT IDENTIFICATION: Describe the basic elements of your proposed project. Include a
statement identifying the needs to be addressed by your project and how your project will satisfy
those needs. Identify the parties responsible for project completion.
The community pool project will provide much needed repairs and new amenities to the Riverside
community pool. The first phase of the project will evaluate the existing pool to determine
necessary repairs. We anticipate that this will include a new gunite surface or similar. The second
phase will determine additional upgrades to the pool and pump house along with new amenities
such as splash equipment and shade structures.
The community pool is a much-loved facility that serves the residents of Riverside and beyond our
borders. The pool is within walking distance of all of the apartment complexes in Riverside, where
the majority of our residents with the greatest financial needs reside. Through a partnership with
the YMCA, the City offers free swim lessons to Riverside residents each year. Last year 191 free
swim lessons were taught in several sessions. We also offer free Aqua Zumba lessons each season.
The existing pool is a needed amenity to provide access to swimming and healthy recreation. Our
goal is the ensure that the pool stays in good condition for years to come. Enhancing this
recreational amenity by adding splash equipment and shade structures will make the pool and even
better place to safely play and learn.
Riverside, in partnership with our citizens, will be responsible for repairing the existing pool and
providing the enhanced pool features. We will work with a pool designer/engineer to ensure that
the improvements are implemented correctly. We will include citizen input to design the new
amenities to meet citizen needs.
2. MASTER PLAN CORRELATION: How does the project relate to your community's priorities and
the County's Parks System Master Plan?
The City of Riverside is committed to the health of our citizens. Through our Healthy Citizens
Initiative, we provide our citizens reduced rates for Community Center memberships. The
swimming pool improvements extend this Initiative, providing fun outdoor opportunities to stay
active. The Riverside Comprehensive Plan highlights the importance of providing safe, public
spaces for people of all ages to play, gather, and socialize. The community pool is one of our main
gathering places.
Providing Health and Wellness Opportunities is one of the three Guiding Principles of the County
Parks Master Plan. Swimming and water play provide a way for all generations to stay active. The
swimming pool also fits the County goal of enhancing existing community parks.

3. OPERATION & MAINTENANCE: Identify the responsible agency and source of funding that will
support the operation and maintenance of the project once it is complete. (Land acquisition
projects shall be dedicated to public use in perpetuity; development projects will be for the life of
the proposed facility)
The City of Riverside is responsible for maintaining the swimming pool and surrounding
amenities. The Public Works Department is diligent in maintaining the pool surfacing and the
pump house equipment. Annually, we contract with the YMCA to provide lifeguard services and
free swim lessons. Maintenance funds are provided from the City infrastructure maintenance
fund under the Public Works Department. Program operation funds are provided from the City
under the Community Center Department.

5. PARTNERSHIP INVOLVEMENT: Describe the partnerships established between local
government, private citizens, community organizations, and/or the business community to plan
and complete the proposed project and the role of each entity. Include amount of matching
contributions and donations by partners to the project.
The City of Riverside will partner with citizens by ensuring that there are ample opportunities for
community feedback for the pool improvement plans. We currently partner with YMCA to ensure
that the pool is operated safely with appropriate lifeguard staffing. We will seek input from the
YMCA on additional programs that can be offered with the new amenities.
In addition to the substantial City contribution, Riverside will seek a grant from the Missouri
Department of Natural Resources through the Land Water and Conservation Fund for the pool
improvements. We continually look for ways to partner and leverage funds in ways that show
good stewardship of citizen dollars.
