Port Shiloh Pool was originally built in 1955 as a traditional public bathing facility, featuring two swimming wells (one with diving), bathhouse, and pump house. In 1993, Port Shiloh was completely renovated into a family aquatic facility, with the following features/amenities incorporated into the design: Zero-depth pool, lane pool, tube slide, body slide, sand play area, lawn area, concessions area, admissions center, and water play features.
