LARGO â The diving tower at Southwest Recreation Complex has had its ups and downs over many years, but city officials may be giving the structure some TLC so it can be used again.
Mayor Woody Brown said he believes the commission frequently looks for things that makes the city better, unique and a community of choice. I think this is something (that) ⦠sets us apart from any other city on the west coast of Florida, he said.
He added that the city has done little maintenance to the tower in 37 years.
Several representatives of aquatic teams and others urged city commissioners March 2 to repair and reopen the platform. It was shut down about a year ago at the same time the Southwest Pool was closed due to COVID-19.
