Annapolis, MD — Annapolis residents are going to be “wowed” by the new $4 million Truxtun Park Pool according to Mayor Gavin Buckley.
He was among the officials participating in a groundbreaking ceremony on Tuesday morning.
The demolition of the old pool and reconstruction will take approximately eight months to complete, setting the pool up for an early summer 2020 reopening.
The pool will include a 25-meter, six-lane lap pool, a family leisure pool, a splash pad with beach (zero) entry, a snack bar and ample shaded patio areas. The new bathhouse will be ADA-compliant and will include two family suites as well as separate men’s and women’s locker and changing rooms.
Annapolis generated the funds for the pool by selling its share in the Eisenhower Golf Course in 2016
The Truxtun Park Pool is the only outdoor public pool in the City of Annapolis. No membership is required. Residents and non-residents may purchase daily or seasonal passes.
Residents are going to be in for a very pleasant surprise next summer,” said Archie Trader, City of Annapolis Director of Recreation and Parks. “The old pool was barely holding on the last few seasons. This pool will offer state of the art amenities.”
