re: Anyone ever started up a neighborhood pool?

Maintenance and (eventual) repair are the real killers. Be sure that your operating cost estimates include a cash reserve for major repairs. I live in a neighborhood with HOA and large pool, and it is always in need of some maintenance, Pump for the waterfall, underwater lights, replastering, annual scrubbing, etc. Fortunately, the developer still controls the HOA, so we aren’t on the hook for that stuff aside from regular $60/mo dues, but I am glad I won’t outlive the developer’s control. We would easily be paying triple that to cover the true operating costs.

It would be a pain. Whose gonna clean it and notify everyone when a kid shits out their swim diaper? Lots on maintenance, insurance etc. These neighborhood pools barley stay afloat even big nice ones.
Just put one in your house and invite friends over as you want if you really want one.

infinity pool with a bridge to the lake.

That isn't a lake, it is a pretty desirable waterfront on a navigatable waterway

Ok, infinity pool with a bridge to the pretty desirable waterfront on a navigable waterway.

If built, the pool would be on the waterway. Which would make for some nice views but expensive real estate.

Any vacant lots in adjacent subdivisions? Nothing says the sports club has to be for just one subdivision. Just thinking outside the box, without knowing the size of the subdivision.

Yes, but not something we would entertain.
Our subdivision is about 50 lots, and would probably be for residents only. Parking would be very limited and most residents would walk to the pool.

No. Insurance. Go ahead and get a quote on this before you go any further. That alone may make the decision for the group that is contemplating this.
I once asked the agent who ensured our neighborhood clubhouse and pool if there was something we could do that would elicit higher rates than having a pool. His answer? "I guess you could set a tiger loose inside the clubhouse fence and ask me to insure that. Can't think of much else."

Building codes requires parking then you have run off from the parking lot that has to be addressed then you have health department issues because it’s semi public access pool lots of moving parts.

You better be prepared to bend over when you start getting insurance quotes

And if his eyes don’t bug out from how high the premium is, just remember it’s not going to get any cheaper. If there is ever a claim, the rates will double or it will be uninsurable.

A community wood-chipper?
A community ladder?
A community chainsaw?

Before we purchased our current home we were looking at a house that had a community pool adjacent to the property. The neighborhood had an HOA that’s only purpose was to fund the pool and it was optional. $200/year for pool access. I think it’s a great idea if you have the right type of neighborhood and keep the riff raff out. Y’all will probably have to wait until all this Covid shite to die down. The Karen’s will frown upon the idea of a community pool right now

yes but the community developer built that pool.
wick is talking about a bunch of homeowners doing it. The risk to the investors in this case is much higher
no risk at all in just paying 200 bucks to use a pool already built
