The original board worked hand-in-hand with original residents to fund this transformational project. The pool has shaped the memories of those who grew up here and the imaginations of new families who choose this neighborhood to put down roots. While memories don’t fade, facilities unfortunately do. Tireless maintenance of the pool has ensured it would open every summer for 60+ years. The pool has surpassed the average lifespan of a public pool and without immediate and significant investment, the pool will reach the end of its lifespan. A complete pool replacement is necessary; the only option to maintain this cherished space. 

Refocus Efforts on New Pool and Clubhouse

In response to Kennari’s feasibility study, the board worked with MMA to significantly reduce the scope of the project from the original conceptual design. The revised scope – a new pool and clubhouse - was estimated to cost approximately $2.9 million. This cost was confirmed by a 2nd construction estimate in Dec 2021. The board developed the following revenue plan to fund the project:
