Don't know its current status but I believe those pools were going to be used for the swimming and diving events for the Olympics when Detroit lost out three times in a row, finishing second or so all three times. Can you imagine how different 1967 could have been had everyones time been spent preparing for the 1968 Olympics? Boggles the mind.
Many years ago I stayed at the apartments at Schoolcraft and Outer Drive and would jog around the entire park, came to seven or eight miles I believe. Later on I lived in a house right across on Outer Drive by West Chicago. An excellent view to say the least. The park looks so run down now, makes me cry.
