Dreamland Pool opened in 1926 with original construction that included a three story pavilion whose top floor had a dance floor where many notable Big Bands played through the 1930s and 1940s. The pool measures 125 feet by 250 feet and was once known as the largest public swimming pool east of the Mississippi River. The popular pavilion was destroyed by fire in 1972, and the pool was conveyed to the City of Kenova in 1973. Presently, the Kenova Parks & Recreation Board oversee the operation and management of the facility.
