The Tamar Manoukian New Cumnock Pool. Having been fully refurbished by the Dumfries House Trust in June 2017, this outdoor swimming pool, opposite the New Cumnock Town Hall, is for the community to enjoy.
About
On 14 June 2017, the fully refurbished outdoor swimming pool opened to the public. The revamp took nine months to complete and was the result of a partnership between The Dumfries House Trust and Afton Water Leisure, spearheaded by Company Secretary Georgette Fulton OBE. The project was part a wider community outreach programme that counted the Town Hall rejuvenation as its first success.
His Majesty King Charles, then the Prince Charles, officially opened the pool with guests including Scottish Olympic silver medalist swimmer Duncan Scott, sponsors Bob and Tamar Manoukian and Sir Tom Hunter. Georgette Fulton also received a poolside commemorative plaque in honour of her dedication to the project.
