City Commission Approves Parks Bond Funds for Aquatic Center Project
The City Commission approved $3.5 million in additional funding for the Aquatic Center Project through the Parks and Recreation Bond. The contractor, Hensel Phelps, was originally tasked with designing and constructing improvements at the Aquatic Center Complex including new pools, decks, bleachers, and the north building at the site. The additional funding will be used to replace the south building that houses locker rooms and offices. Overall completion is expected by the end of 2022. If you haven’t driven by the Aquatic Center on the beach recently, then do yourself a favor and check out the progress on this peninsula. Coming soon will be our 27 meter diving platform and the work continues on the pools. How exciting that Fort Lauderdale will soon reclaim its reputation as a leader in swimming and diving.
