Outdoor Pool Projects

Smalley Pool and Gutter System Repairs During the 2025 pool season, the pool was inefficiently circulating water which caused repeated water level issues. Repairs would include replanning the level of the pool based on zero depth height to ensure safety, prevent structural damage due to extra water pressure in areas, maintain pool equipment function, and extend the pool lifespan. The contractor for the project will also apply a waterproof coating to the gutter system concrete to prevent water flow breakage and replace the pool gutter grates. Extra water flowing over gutters in certain areas has caused breakdowns in the concrete with concrete chips circulating to the pumps causing operational issues and inconsistencies.

Smalley Pool Boiler Replacement The current boiler is past its useful life and a crucial part of pool operation. In 2024, the boiler had significant operational issues causing emergency repairs and during annual preventative maintenance in 2025, it was recommended for replacement due to a high level of corrosion on plug threads and the head of the system. 

East End Pool Perimeter Gutter Grates Replacement The gates are 16 years-old (2009) and past their useful life of 12 to 15 years. Replacement parts that match the current grates are no longer available. The new system will improve drainage and water circulation and ensure all components meet current safety and code standards. The replacement will enhance pool functionality, appearance, and long-term durability. 

East End Pool Heat Exchanger Replacement The remaining exchanger is 16 years-old and past its useful life of 12 to 15 years. Parts for the exchanger are difficult to find, and repairs are difficult to make due to the age of the system. This project would replace the remaining old heat exchanger to prevent another emergency replacement. Heat exchangers warm the pool water to the desired temperature to ensure a comfortable swimming experience for patrons. 

Deck and Lounge Chair Replacements The chairs at East End Pool and The Hub Spray Ground have reached the end of their useful life at around 18 years-old (life expectancy is 7 to 8 years) and over 50% of the chairs are in poor condition and beyond repair. Furthermore, the chairs are not aesthetically appealing and many of the lounge chairs have holes in the fabric. 

Berens Park Hub Spray Ground Electrical Panel Relocation Moisture inside the mechanical pit leads to corrosion of the electrical wiring, which required emergency electrical repairs in both the 2024 and 2025 seasons and temporary closure of the spray ground. This project will ensure safer and more reliable operation of the panel.
