Wildwood asks neighboring municipalities if residents can use their poolsBy Gretchen A. Harman
 Officials for the city of Wildwood recently contacted several neighboring municipalities regarding usage of their pools for their residents.
“Currently, the city of Wildwood lacks a public community pool and we have had an interest from our residents to have a facility,” Wildwood Director of Planning and Parks Joe Vujnich said. The Wildwood City Council asked three nearby cities - Ballwin, Chesterfield and Fenton - if their residents could have access to their recreational pool facilities. “Not only would it help our residents but we feel it would be a good opportunity for other cities to generate more revenue,” Vujnich said. During the April 28 Ballwin Board of Aldermen meeting, the board approved giving the Wildwood residents access to Ballwin’s North Pointe Aquatic Center during the 2008 summer season. “The board approved a cap of 75 season pass holders access to our facility,” Ballwin City Administrator Robert Kuntz said. Vujnich said the city of Fenton also has offered a range of options for Wildwood residents. Currently, they have such arrangements with the cities of Valley Park and Sunset Hills. Officials for the city of Chesterfield also received the request and are reviewing options. In 2007, Ballwin officials sold discounted passes to residents of Ellisville while the city worked on designs for its new pool in Bluebird Park. The new pool in Ellisville is expected to open this summer.
