Newfoundland Outport

The Scenic Bowring Park Swimming Pool

Bowring Park Swimming Pool, 1918 
Opened in 1918, it was one of the first outdoor pools near St. John's. In 1916, the Boat Pool was used for outdoor swimming. The water became polluted in the 1960's, and like Rennie's Pool, had to be closed.
