New Community Pool

A new gathering place for Piedmont

The new Community Pool is taking shape. Water is in the pools, and the project has entered the critical commissioning phase - the careful process of testing and fine-tuning every system to ensure the facility runs safely and reliable.

Commissioning takes time. An expected opening timeline will be announced after key commissioning milestones are met. Until then, we're moving step by step toward welcoming the community into a facility that will serve generations of Piedmonters.

What's happening now

• System testing: Crews are running pumps and filters, dialing in chemical treatment, and checking controls. Water may look cloudy at times during chemical balancing - that's expected.
• Scenario stress-tests: We simulate a variety of real-world scenarios over extended periods of time to confirm systems will perform as expected.
• Hiring: The Recreation Department is building the team we need to operate the pool. Right now, lifeguards are especially needed. Learn more and apply

What's next

• On-site prep: After key commissioning milestones are achieved, Aquatics staff will begin a period of on-site training and preparations while final testing and calibration continues.

What the new pool will offer

• 27-meter competition pool with diving well and 12 lap lanes
• 3,177 sq. ft. activity pool with three 25-yard lap lanes and warm water year-round
• Multi-purpose community room
• Rooftop pavillion
