The City of Mentor announced they will be turning their pool at Eleanor B. Garfield Park into a splash pad.

The pool was originally built in the early 1960s but has been closed since 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the lifeguard shortage.

The city decided to make the change to a splash pad after an assessment of the pool revealed multiple structural and performance deficiencies.

Construction is set to begin in 2025.
