Welcome to the Friends of the Pool and Park Foundation!

We are an organization of dedicated individuals working towards the betterment of two very special entities in Chinook, the Ensign Sweet Memorial Park and the Chinook City Pool. Both of these facilities hold a special place in many people’s hearts, whether you lived in Chinook as a child or whether you currently reside here. Please consider donating to our worthy cause on our donation page, or contact us with any requests for sponsorship that you may have.

We look forward to hearing from the community regarding our endeavors and we are especially excited for the changes to come. Stay tuned as we embark on this adventure, together.

Our Progress

We are proud to announce that we have raised $2.9 Million Dollars in just 5 short years!
We truly appreciate every single person who has donated to our cause. We have fully funded Phase A (Pool Renovation) which was completed June of 2026, and we will be starting on Phase B (Park Renovation) in the Fall of 2026!

Pool

Our beautiful pool finally received a facelift! After 50 years, we have completed the necessary repairs to sustain it for many more years to come. We couldn’t have achieved this without the generosity of the people who love our dear pool. Thank you to every single person who helped in any way.

Park

Sweet Park holds a special place in everyone’s heart. Ensign Sweet, a long-time benefactor for Chinook, funded the development of this park in the late 1980’s. Since then, its been maintained by the Sweet Park Board. It too, is in need of repairs which are scheduled to being fall of 2026.

Future Plans

We have big plans! Of course, those plans can’t come true without the financial help of the community of Chinook and afar. We look forward to the development of these two great entities.
