My memory is of an in ground swimming pool in the back yard!
The deck had a gate and steps up to the 15 foot pool.
My wife and I decided to remove the pool because:
1. Lots of work & expense.
2. Little use due to my work hours.
3. Little use due to her wanting the water to be 80 plus degrees.

She quickly turned the spot into a 15 foot round garden. The white
Molly fence would delineate the old pool site if it did not disappear
under the fast growing red-twig dogwood!
