Washington Park Pool was originally built in the 1970s. The old pool closed down in 2022 and demolition began.
In a 2021 study, Washington Park Pool was ranked highest in terms of resident support for renovation out of all the department’s recreation centers and pools.
The new pool is the largest investment into Washington Park in the city’s history.
