A.D. Clark Pool
The A.D. Clark Pool is a historic public swimming facility located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Opened in 1961 at the Hargraves Community Center (formerly the Roberson Street Center), the pool was established to provide a safe and accessible swimming space for the town’s Black community during the era of segregation. Named after Adolphus D. Clark, a local civil rights leader and the first president of the Chapel Hill NAACP, the pool was funded through significant local fundraising efforts and a $40,000 donation from Cornelia Love, a Chapel Hill resident who supported Clark’s vision for a community pool. Today, the A.D. Clark Pool is operated by the Town of Chapel Hill and continues to serve as a vital community resource, offering seasonal public swim times, lessons, and local events.
