Fayette City Park Swimming Pool, also known as the Fayette WPA Pool and WWI Memorial, is a historic swimming pool located at Fayette, Howard County, Missouri. It was built in 1936 as a Works Progress Administration funded project.

The building has two-toned brick walls and a concrete foundation.^[2]^: 5^[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.^[1]

The Fayette City Park Swimming Pool is one of several above-ground swimming pools designed by architect Wesley Bintz between 1919 and the 1950s. Headquartered in Lansing, Michigan, Bintz patented his iconic "Bintz Pool," which boasted efficiency and cost-effectiveness through the use of the "ovoid" shape and the above-ground design. While there were once about 135 "Bintz" swimming pools throughout the United States, today there are approximately 16 still standing, with even fewer still operating as swimming pools.
