Ours has a pool too, and we're going through the same series of questions. Neither of us wanted a pool, and we have two young kids around too.
A pool fence would be about $1200 to install, pool removal quotes ran in the $10,000 range (in some cities, you also need a soil engineers report after the removal).
For us, it's staying. It fits really well on the property, and we think we'll use it. We'll be putting up a fence, and getting a big huge insurance policy to protect us against lawsuits.
I'll be taking care of it. After scraping up the money for a down payment, and extra $100 a month for a pool service just isn't going to happen.
