Post Date:07/17/2026 9:47 AMConstruction continues to progress on the replacement and renovation of the Monroe Street Pool, locker rooms and other amenities, with completion expected by late summer to early fall 2026.
Preparing to pour the concrete around the pool, with the first pours scheduled to begin next week
Completing interior finishes in the administration building, with floor tiling starting soon
Continuing interior finishes in the mechanical equipment and family restroom building
Completing the installation of the pool deck light fixtures and shade structure posts, with shade structure material installation coming next
Installing the solar water heating system and a stormwater filtration system on the west side of the site
Continuing gas and electrical utility installation throughout the site in coordination with SDG&E
When finished, the renovated facility will feature a larger pool with 50% more lanes and upgrades to nearly every part of the complex, including restrooms, showers, locker rooms, lighting and mechanical systems. New shade structures, deck space and seating will make it more comfortable for swimmers, instructors and spectators alike.
The city is on track for a late summer to early fall reopening. While some remaining work may continue in limited areas of the site after reopening, it is not expected to impact public use of the re-opened facility.
Thank you for everyone’s patience as the city makes these improvements. The city will continue to share updates as it nears the completion of the project.
