Metropolitan Park Bathhouse and Pool Historic District, historic bathhouse and pool district in Tucumcari, New Mexico, United States

The Metropolitan Park Bathhouse and Pool Historic District is a 1.8-acre (240 by 330 feet) parcel in Tucumcari, New Mexico, containing a one-story Spanish-Pueblo Revival bathhouse built in 1940, a swimming pool, and a landscaped park. The architect was Trent Thomas. The district has one contributing building, one contributing structure, and one contributing site.

The bathhouse was built in 1940 as part of New Deal public works, constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps using local materials and regional architectural styles. The pool was once among the largest outdoor swimming pools in New Mexico and represented community efforts to provide recreational facilities during economically difficult times.

Locals have called the site Five Mile Park and Apache Wells Lions Club Park, names that record how the parcel was used by the surrounding community. The Tucumcari property was added to the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties on 26 January 1996 and to the National Register on 15 March 1996.

The site is easy to reach by car, located about 1.5 miles west of the main town exit near Interstate 40 with ample parking space. The park is well-maintained and open for walking through the grounds, where you can see the remaining structures and explore the historic layout at a relaxed pace.
