Lake Worth Casino and Pool

It's been a most unfortunate situation that the city NEVER took the advice from Kimley Horn to repair our pool and locker rooms when we had the chance for $509,000. And it totally ignored the will of its residents.

I agree with Betty Resch at the time--"It was the will of the city to make it fail."

It is unfortunate, and that's stating it mildly, that the city drained the pool  allowing the sun and the elements to further its deterioration. People are unhappy, rightfully so.We could have fixed it at the time for $509,000 (we paid for the engineering study) but the city wanted it out of there. Michael Bornstein was behind this travesty from almost the day he was hired as Lake Worth city manager even calling it a "white elephant."

The city stopped funding our pool in 2018. It was never their desire to save it.

Now, not only have they allowed our pool to go to hell in a hand basket and beyond repair, the city is not maintaining the area either. Blight abounds.

New Commissioners, please have the blight cleaned up and rebuild our pool at the Lake Worth beach.

  1. They should fix up the area, but I don't think they are going to rebuild the pool.

    I think that train left the station.
