Maccabi pool, Raanana. 1947 / 8
Maccabi Pool, Raanana. Early days. This public pool was donated for the comfort of the people of Raanana and now sits in ruins after being closed for real estate development.
2015 Update: The pool no longer exists. The site is now a new apartment complex.

The Maccabi pool was build in 1944 as an olimpic pool on land donated by the
Rohar family.
In its vicinity was also the first movie theater in Raanana named "Tzuk-or"

I used to swim in that pool when I lived in Ra'anana (just around the corner) in the mid-90's. I was very surprised to see the new apartment complex last year when I moved back there.
