Aquatic Park Updates
The first phase of Aquatic Park upgrades focused on the construction of a shade structure specifically designed for chemical storage, ensuring safer and more efficient handling of pool maintenance materials. Krafstman was selected as the contractor for this project and construction will begin in early 2025. In addition to the shade structure, another significant improvement included the re-plastering of the outdoor pool. This upgrade was essential for maintaining the pool’s surface integrity, preventing leaks, and providing a refreshed, smooth finish for swimmers. These upgrades mark the beginning of a larger effort to enhance Aquatic Park’s facilities, with future improvements planned to further elevate the visitor experience.
Park Loop Trail (Segment 1A)
Design has finished on Trail Segment 1A which is the continuation of Park Loop Trail 2A that ends at Squires Drive and will run along the drainage channel East connecting to the completed portion of trail along Taylor Street. A construction company was recently awarded the contract by City Council, and is currently working through the permitting process. Construction began in January 2025 and the opening is expected in the summer of 2025.
