Outdoor Swimming Pool Renovation
- Status
- Funded in 2009
Prosser will use this grant to renovate the 50-year-old bathhouse and outdoor swimming pool in E.J. Miller Park. The renovation will provide access for people with disabilities, increase pool use, and correct health code violations. To increase use, a new furnace will be installed and a shallow water pool for teaching aqua aerobics and other classes will be created by building a bulkhead at one end of the pool. The bulkhead will allow the larger area of the pool to be used for swim meets. The city also will add a play pool with toys for children, a water slide, and new decks, as well as upgrade the bathhouse. Finally, to meet health codes, the city will replace its chemical and circulation systems. The city will contribute $541,380 in cash, council bonds, equipment, labor, and donated labor. (08-1603)
