The City of Walnut Creek will be hosting a groundbreaking on Wednesday, February 18, 4:00 p.m, at Heather Farm Park.
The event is to recognize the next phase in the plan to replace the aging Aquatic and Community Centers. They are both more than 50 years old, and have outlived their useful lives.
Mayor Kevin Wilk will be speaking, along with representatives from the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Commission, and the Walnut Creek Aquatic Foundation.
Mayor Wilk said, “This is the biggest construction project the City has ever done, and we are so proud to be able to bring the new pools and community center to our residents.” The project is being funded in large part by Measure O funds approved by voters in 2022.
The location will be in front of the existing community center in Heather Farm Park, off N. San Carlos Drive. The easiest parking will be to park at the Ballfield One parking lot across the street.
The community and media are invited to attend.
Editors note:
According to the City, the project is estimated to cost $77 million upon full completion and will finish construction by Summer of 2027. The facility will include:
- Combined Aquatics and Community Center
- Outdoor event spaces & terraces
- Large indoor event space (new Lakeside Room)
- (3) Multipurpose Rooms / Classrooms
- 50m lap pool
- Recreational pool
- Bath House
- Pool Mechanical Building
- Other Supporting spaces
- A new restroom adjacent to the All Abilities Playground
