Making a splash: How Jean Esther’s ocean-inspired mural brought new life to Schlegel Park Pool

On the face of the Schlegel Park Pool building, a vivid underwater world has emerged — one not filled with water, but with color, creativity, and community spirit. The expansive mural, painted by local artist Jean Esther, transforms the pool’s entrance into a portal to the deep sea, teeming with marine life and imagination. It’s a piece that now welcomes visitors not just to swim, but to pause, reflect, and admire.
