Concord Community Pool Reopens Following Re-plastering Project
Grab your bathing suit, towel and goggles – the Concord Community Pool (3501 Cowell Road) is now open. Thanks to a recent replastering project, which was completed in March – a month ahead of schedule – and a pool deck renovation that was done in spring of 2018, Concord swimmers have their pool back and it’s better than ever.
The recent Pool Plaster Replacement project fully replaced the plaster, pool tile, and perimeter drain grate. In addition, the old expansion joints were removed and the concrete stairs were reconstructed. The pool has been closed to the public since December of 2018.
The useful life of pool plaster is approximately 10 to 15 years. The Community Pool’s old plaster was installed in 2004 and was showing signs of aging and delamination (a splitting apart of layers), which is why this maintenance was scheduled and prioritized.
With new plaster and a smooth new pool deck, swimmers and aquatics fans now have an updated facility they can enjoy for years to come.
Serving approximately 124,000 swimmers per year, the Community Pool is Concord’s only public swimming pool and offers a variety of programs throughout the year, such as swimming lessons, lap and recreation swimming, deep water workouts, water polo, lifeguard training, and more. The pool also hosts the Terrapins Swim Team and various swim competitions.
