Following a transformative renovation project aimed at enhancing access, safety, and enjoyment for swimmers, the newly renovated outdoor recreation pool areas at the Rockville Swim and Fitness Center reopened on June 30, 2025.
The renovation included two newly built pools and associated infrastructure, upgraded filtration systems, new concrete decking with overhead lighting, and colorful water play features. Swimmers can now enjoy dual 26-foot water slides, one open and one enclosed, alongside an activity pool with an in-water play unit, a wellness pool with lap lanes, and an 8-foot-tall slide. The redesign includes in-water basketball, shaded seating areas, two gently sloped beach-style entries into the activity pool, and informal recreation features spread throughout the complex.
A presentation of a preliminary design concept for the outdoor recreation pool renovation was delivered to the Mayor and Council at their Jan. 23, 2023 meeting, when a motion was passed to proceed with design development. A findings report summarizes community input and site survey information for the project. A series of progress photos chronicles the project’s journey from August 2024 to its completion in June 2025.
