We’re making important facility improvements to better serve you! Construction will take place from July 8, 2025, through January 31, 2026, as part of Phase 1 of the City's Accessibility Improvements Project.
What to Expect:
Construction begins while the facility remains open
July 8 – September 20, 2025: Customers may see and hear construction activity during normal operations
August 9 – September 21, 2025: Significant construction will occur during the facility’s planned closure for improvements
Improvements Include:
- A new accessibility lift in the main lobby
- A more accessible front desk
- Additional family changing rooms
- A new lifeguard office
The project team is working closely with Chinquapin staff to minimize disruptions as much as possible throughout the construction process.
