If you’ve walked through Ledbury Park lately, you’ve probably noticed the construction. With the warmer weather upon us, many are wondering when the public outdoor pool is scheduled to open.
These improvements are part of the city’s state-of-good-repair program to upgrade the facility’s mechanical and refrigeration systems, roof, exterior building system and improve accessibility to the washrooms, change rooms and elevator.
As of now, the city says the pool construction, along with change rooms and washrooms should be done by June 25. However, don’t miss the line that says….TIMELINES SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
Here is the projected timelines, along with a detailed plan of what’s being done in this 3 phase project.
Project Timeline
- August 2021: Detailed design
- January 2022: Hiring a construction team
- March 2022: Construction starts
- December 2022: Construction finishes
The timeline is subject to change.
Project included the following improvements:
- Public washrooms and changing rooms upgrades
- Mechanical, HVAC, electrical and refrigeration systems upgrades
- Roof and exterior building upgrades (“building envelope”)
- Accessibility improvements including accessible change room, washroom and elevator
Phase 1: Outdoor Pool Area
Construction for this phase is scheduled for March to June 2022 and includes upgrades to the pool change rooms, roofing and building envelope. During this phase, there will be no access to these spaces and the outdoor pool.
Phase 2: Artificial Ice Rink
Construction for this phase is scheduled for July to September 2022 and includes upgrades to the washrooms, roofing and building envelope, mechanical and electrical rooms. During this phase, there will be no access to these spaces.
Phase 3: Artificial Ice Rink and Elevator
Construction for this phase is scheduled for September to December 2022 and includes upgrades to the mechanical, electrical and HVAC systems and elevator installation. During this phase, there will be no access to the artificial ice rink.
When the construction is complete, our community will enjoy an upgraded, safe, accessible, public facility where we can revel in hours and hours of fun in the summer and in the winter.
