The Congress Park Pool reconstruction required significant upgrades and alterations to the existing pool. The scope of work included the demolition and reconstruction of an existing 50-meter lap pool, a youth pool, a bath house, a pump house, and other site features such as landscaping, fencing, steps, walls and utilities. The project aimed to improve the quality of the facilities, enhance accessibility and provide modern amenities that cater to the needs of the community.
The reconstruction work encompassed the complete removal of the old facilities and the construction of new ones. The only structure that remained was an existing pavilion shelter, which received new finishes and roofing. The new 50-meter lap pool and youth pool were constructed in an L-shape, with the bath house and attached employee spaces occupying 2,800 square feet and the pump house encompassing 1,360 square feet.
Landscape architecture was an integral part of the project and included the design of pedestrian-oriented exterior spaces with exterior hardscaping, site walls, steps, fences and planted areas that surround the pools and architecture. Grading adjustments were made to accommodate accessibility to the facility. The existing parking lot was also improved with new asphalt and striping. Connections to underground utilities and connections for future EV charging stations were made, as well.
