Description

This pool was presented to the children of Palmerston North in 1937 by the Returned Services Association (RSA). Art Deco in design, the pool is shaped to resemble the RSA Badge.

This slide was likely created by David Evans of the City Council's Planning Office. M D (David) Evans was a planning assistant from 1955 to 1968, Deputy City Planner from 1968 to 1978 and Senior Planning Officer (Design and Development) from 1978-1988.
