50-Meter Pool Cover Survey Summary
Thanks to all who provided input into future 50-meter pool cover considerations by completing the patron survey, open November 1 – 15, 2024. We received 645 responses and many great comments. Here is a summary of what we learned.
Overall the survey confirmed that people value the open-air environment during the summer months with the majority favoring at least some shade or filtered sunlight and an improved year-round environment.
Thank you again for your input. It is highly valued and will help inform out decisions. Look for more information in early spring.
The following Frequently Asked Questions provide an update on the pool enclosure’s planning status.
What is wrong with the existing enclosure?
The 27-year-old enclosure is nearing the end of its expected lifespan. While the structure is still safe, it is no longer feasible to remove and reinstall the main roof panels each year as originally intended. The fabric panels have also deteriorated to the point of requiring replacement. Rather than choosing to invest substantial funds to renovate or replace the existing structure, the district decided to explore alternative enclosures that would continue to provide an open-air environment in the summer while improving the overall, year-round experience and reducing long-term maintenance costs.
What can be expected for summer 2025?
It is likely that the pool will operate next summer similar to summer 2024 with the roof panels remaining in place and the gable end panels and all side openings removed. Regardless, we don’t anticipate any change or disruption in pool use due to the cover over the next year.
When will the decision be made on a new or improved enclosure?
District leadership intends to take the necessary time to make the best long-term decision. We hope to hone in on a preferred solution this winter so it can be considered in BPRD’s Capital Improvement Plan and begin detailed planning.
When can patrons expect the project to be completed?
It is too early to tell. Once the best long-term solution is selected, district staff will need to complete detailed plans and cost estimates and also determine the funding strategy. Staff will also carefully plan for construction in order to minimize impact on pool users. It will likely be a few years before construction.
How can I stay informed and involved?
Look for regular updates in BPRD Fitness & Swim Newsletters and here on this webpage. You can sign up for the newsletters on the Newsletters webpage.
