Dear Forestbrooke Members & Friends,
After 65 wonderful years of splashes, laughter, and memories, it’s time to say goodbye to our beloved Forestbrooke Pool—before we welcome its exciting rebuild! Thanks to the dedication of our members and community leaders, we’ve secured funding for a pool renovation. Construction will take place in the off-season, with the pool set to reopen fresh and ready for fun in Summer 2026.
All Weekend Memory Sharing: Bring a note of reflection or a photo of you/your family at the pool and add it to our “65 FAST Years” time capsule. Share some favorite memories and hopes for the future.
But first—we’re hosting one last hurrah and hope you’ll join us:
