Directions to Broadmoor Pool

Coming to a swim meet in Broadmoor? Here's how to find the pool.

On South University Avenue, turn west onto Lakeshore Drive. When you reach a "T" intersection with Berkshire Drive, find a safe parking place. The pool is reached by a walking path on the north property line of 2 Berkshire Drive.

Please park safely without blocking drives.

For a map, just Google "2 Berkshire Drive, Little Rock, 72204."

New logwork in clubhouse






David Peterson has spliced new logs in the clubhouse wall over the fireplace. The old logs were damaged by termites. He did amazing work.

After the logs dry, David will go back in and chink them, then we will paint them to match the original logs.

Broadmoor Lake restocked with largemouth bass and bluegill bream

On June 16, the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission put 1,125 2" Largemouth Bass and 1,600 3"- Bluegill Bream in Broadmoor Lake.

Past President Jack Perciful met the truck about 1:30 and let them in to dump the fish.

Jack asked them about how long it would take these fish to be of a catchable size, and they said it depends on how much food they have.

The lake has catchable fish from previous stockings. Just take care to throw back any grass carp. They are in the lake to reduce the weeds.

Remember, fishing licenses are required, and you must be a Broadmoor resident or accompanied by a Broadmoor resident to use the park and lake.

Thanks, Jack!

Congratulations to the residents of 25 Belmont Drive. They've made some beautiful improvements to the front yard, including a nice flower bed around a tree and a great arrangement of stones, pavers, and glazed flower pots around the porch.

Thank you for enhancing the look of Broadmoor!
