Upcoming Construction Timeline

Bubble and Indoor Rec 

Improvement Schedule

The opening of the Bubble Pool has been delayed until further notice due to construction delays. The Indoor Recreation Pool and Hot Tub will remain open until further updates are provided regarding the renovation schedule.

Once the Bubble Pool opens, aquatic programming will temporarily move there while the Indoor Recreation Pool and Hot Tub undergo approximately 6–8 weeks of needed renovations and improvements.

After the Indoor Recreation Pool reopens, the Bubble Pool will temporarily close for new boiler and heat exchanger installations serving the Bubble, Dive Tank, and 50-Meter Pool.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to maintain and improve our aquatic facilities and provide an even better experience for our community. We will share updates as more information becomes available.

What to Expect

Throughout the project, aquatic programming will shift between the Indoor Recreation Pool and the Bubble to accommodate construction, repairs, and maintenance.

Indoor Recreation Pool

  • Programming will continue in the Indoor Recreation Pool during the initial stages of the project.
  • The Indoor Recreation Pool will temporarily close for repairs and maintenance.
  • During this closure, programming will shift to the Bubble.

Bubble

  • The Bubble will undergo installation and construction work.
  • While the Bubble is being prepared, programming will remain in the Indoor Recreation Pool.
  • Once the Bubble is ready, programming will shift to the Bubble while work continues in the Indoor Recreation Pool.

Why Is This Work Necessary?

These projects are part of ongoing efforts to maintain our aquatic facilities and make needed improvements. While the work may result in temporary changes to programming and facility access, these improvements are important to the continued operation of our pools.

Stay Updated

Construction schedules can change as project needs, equipment availability, and installation timelines evolve. We will continue to provide updates as the project progresses, including changes to programming, facility access, and anticipated reopening.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we make these improvements to better serve our community.
