Jackson-Lincoln Swimming Complex, Inc

Jackson-Lincoln Swimming Complex, Inc Quincy's only nonprofit aquatic and recreation center. History:
In 1997, under the vision of generosity and goodwill of the late Mr. Mr.

Creating access, opportunity, health, and connection through low-to-no-cost programs for youth and families.

🌊 www.jacksonlincolnpoolqcy.org⁠ Bill Black, the Jackson–Lincoln Swimming Complex was created. Black felt it was his civic duty to do something to improve the quality of life of Quincy’s northwest neighborhoods. An ardent boater, Bill had noticed for years that minority and other disadvantaged youth of the northwest side would swim in Quinsippi Bay or the dangerous waters of the Mississippi River because of the lack of access to a public swimming facility. As he neared the end of a generous and productive life, Bill Black proposed a public swimming facility on the sight of the former Jackson School at Eighth & College, ownership of the property which had previously been transferred to the City of Quincy. The swimming complex officially opened on August 2, 1997. Thanks to Bill Black’s generosity and the efforts of other generous Quincyans, the facility consists of a large swimming pool with diving well, a fine wading pool for young children, shower and concession facilities and a filter house. The complex is leased to the Jackson–Lincoln Swimming Complex, Inc., a not-for-profit corporation that staffs the pool on a seasonal basis. The Jackson–Lincoln Swimming Complex primarily raises over 95% of its funds on a yearly basis to operate the facility and continues to try and grow its endowment at the Quincy Area Community Foundation in order to become a sustainable piece of the community.
