The City of Lake Worth will not be constructing a new lap pool at the Lake Worth Beach and Casino Complex.


And check back tomorrow to find out why.

Here is a hint:

What you see below is the proposed site plan for a large aquatic complex to be constructed in unincorporated PBC within a short drive of the Lake Worth Casino.

More information about this site plan will be forthcoming tomorrow. What is more likely is the City of Lake Worth will construct one or possibly even two public pools in another area of the City for more public access and FREE parking too.


It’s hard to believe but some still think that constructing another lap swimming pool next to the ocean is a good idea. It’s not. The damage from salt spray alone on the pool pump equipment at the now-condemned pool is proof of that. Pool pumps can be quite expensive for a large pool and difficult to maintain too.

Think of all the things that space at the Beach can be used for? An outside movie theater, skate park, additional parking and more ADA spaces, a splash park with cabana pool, or maybe an open space for public events?

Take for example the monthly car show at the Lake Worth Beach and Casino Complex. As it is now the road in front of the Casino is closed to make room for this event.

The Lake Worth Beach Car Show is next week, the second Thursday of the month from 6:00–9:00. Below is more information and photos from a recent show at the Beach.

So whilst you’re pondering those questions here are more photos from a car show at the Lake Worth Beach:

“Hey. Look at that! Why is the engine in the rear?”

What other ideas do you have for a more functional Casino at the Beach? Be creative! And maybe ask a Millennial or a young adult for ideas too.
