River Forest Schools

Indiana · United States · School

The tennis courts at this Indiana school stand where the swimming pool was. The pool was filled in after a boy drowned in it during a gym lesson.

The junior and senior high schools at River Forest in Hobart Township, Indiana are connected buildings. Outside them are tennis courts, and the reason those courts exist is the whole of this entry.

Before the courts there was a swimming pool, used for gym lessons. A boy drowned in it during one of those lessons. The pool was taken out and the courts were laid over it.

He is reported across several parts of the complex rather than at the site of the pool itself: the high school gym, the junior high multi purpose room, the high school cafeteria, and the corridors of the high school.

Schools rarely remove a facility of that size, and when they do there is usually a reason that everyone in the district knows and nobody writes down. The courts are the visible record of it.

The schools are in use and this is not a place to visit. The accounts come from pupils and staff who are there every day.
