Monroe Street Pool update

Post Date:07/17/2026 9:47 AM
Construction 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.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes peek at the construction underway.


Recent activities include:

  • 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.
