The pool closed in March to make way for the Gurri Wanyarra Wellbeing Centre, which opened last month.
The Kangaroo Flat Bowls Club has a redevelopment vision for the site, hoping to create a 40 by 40 metre synthetic bowling green as part of a $2 million redevelopment.

City of Greater Bendigo Active and Healthy Lifestyles manager Lincoln Fitzgerald said future use of the site will be in line with the Dower Park Master Plan 2015 and could include a possible third lawn bowls green, new netball/tennis courts and cricket nets.
The demolition works, which will include removing the concrete shells of the pools and backfilling the site, are expected to be completed by mid-December.
Almost 1200 people have signed up to various membership packages at the new $32.4 million Gurri Wanyarra Wellbeing Centre.
