The Meadow Wood Recreation Flub was established in 1967 as a nonprofit corporation with the purpose to operate recreational facilities in the Meadow Wood subdivision of Lyndhurst, Ohio.  The initial plans included a pool, tennis courts, and a pavilion.  The swimming pool opened in 1970 and included a diving board in the deep end and boasted a competitive swim team.  According to the articles, membership was limited to 100 families with an application process, reviewed by the board for acceptance.  An initiation fee was required, plus yearly dues.
