Residents raised concerns about the costing of a 24-hour heated pool and their love of the existing outdoor facility.
Residents took to Facebook to express their outrage at a council-released master plan.
Griffith residents shared much of the sentiment coming from Narrandera locals.
“They have got to be mad! Narrandera Shire Council, you will lose all the patronage of Griffith residents who travel to your town to enjoy the exact same facilities that you are proposing to remove!” Sonia Sal said.
“Taking away Griffith's 50m outdoor pool was a huge mistake … people travel from far and wide to Lake Talbot,” Angela McIntosh said.
