Carson City Aquatic Facility to host Grand Reopening after updates this Saturday
The Carson City Aquatic Facility has been closed to the public for about six weeks while updates and renovations took place. The pool was re-opened without much fanfare Tuesday with a grand reopening and free community swim set for Saturday to celebrate the completion, including a dive in family-friendly movie.
There were two separate projects, said Recreation Program Manager Mike Freeman. The first was updates to the pool, including replastering the pool floor, redoing tiles, fixing the leaking gutters, and more. The second project was updating the locker rooms with new tiles, new faucets, redoing the showers, getting new lockers, and more.
The entire facility also got a fresh coat of paint and a new Carson City Parks mural.
“It was essentially a lot of little projects that totaled up to one big project,” said Freeman. “It all worked out really well and we’re very happy with the results.”
The pool is open to the public now but swimmers should be aware there are no lockers, as they haven’t finished the installation yet.
The grand reopening party will be from 12:30 to 4:30 on Saturday with a free, open swim and a dive in movie.
