Welcome back to the Historical Parks Series!

We are picking back up on Kearsley Park for Part 2 of 4. This week with a heavy focus on the park's long deconstructed pool! You may or may not know that Kearsley was home to one of Flint area's pools in about 1920.

In these photos you will be able to see how many people gathered at Kearsley to utilize the amenities including the bathhouse being built in the background of the photos which is now our famous Genevieve Donnelly Pavilion at Kearsley Park.

In 1917, a real estate company donated 60 acres along Gilkey Creek which became Kearsley Park. The park was the gathering place for community celebrations such as annual 4th of July fireworks and more where over 100,000 people would show up. The pool was demolished in the 1980s, victim of budget cuts and liability issues.

KGCB encourages you to browse through these exclusive photos and captions.
