The existing Piedmont Community Pool and related infrastructure will be demolished, and a new aquatics facility will encompass the present site as well as adjacent City-Owned land. The Project Site is approximately 1.04 acres and is generally bound by the Recreation Building to the west, Magnolia Avenue to the south, Bonita Avenue to the east and the Corey Reich Tennis Center to the North. The project scope includes an additional 0.34 acres of offsite improvements for a total project size of 1.38 acres
The project was developed to address the needs of competitive swim and water polo instruction, water fitness, and recreational users of all ages. The project features two bodies of water, a deep-water competitive pool and a shallow leisure or recreation pool. The competitive pool includes a 27-meter competition pool and two springboard positions. This 6,949 square foot (27-meter x 25 yard) pool would serve a variety of programs including competitive swim and water polo practices as well as dual meets and matches, lap swim, aquatics camps, clinics and instruction, and recreational swimming/diving
In addition to the competitive pool, the project includes a 3,177 square foot zero-depth entry recreation pool. The recreation pool, as currently proposed, includes a 25 yard, 3-lane instructional area for swim lessons and lap swim. Together, the two pools, as conceived, would provide the Piedmont Community with 10,126 square feet of water.
The project also includes a 6,733 square foot, single story aquatics support building at the northeast corner of the property with an accessible roof-top pavilion. The aquatics support building ground floor features a main entry and reception area, changing/restrooms, concessions, pool deck multipurpose room and pool equipment space. The roof-top pavilion includes restrooms for the adjacent tennis courts, storage area and an observation deck overlooking the two pools and view of the bay.
The project will be built on the site of the existing aquatics center at Magnolia Avenue and Bonita Avenue. The scope of the project includes a new building, competition swimming pool, an activity pool, and site work.
Demolition of the existing Aquatics Center is included within the project scope. Demolition scope includes two buildings, three swimming pools, a parking lot and site work.
