Kids and adults swimming in Crawford Park Pool.

On May 14, 2022, the City Council will break ground on the new community pool - the Lagoon at Virginia Weaver Park! Join us from noon to 2 p.m. at Virginia Weaver Park (631 Somerset) for free food, family activities, and live entertainment.

The new pool will feature almost 10,000 square feet of water surface, including a zero-depth entry pool, a separate lap swim pool, a lazy river and three-turn slide, and a splash feature.

Background Information
In November 2017, voters approved funding to build a new outdoor pool to replace the existing pool at Crawford Park. In 2018, the City began the design process for the pool, which included site analysis and selection. The site analysis assesses environmental conditions, potential impacts to existing programs and amenities, and other site-specific considerations. Based on this analysis and input from the City Council, Parks Board, and citizens, Virginia Weaver Park was selected as the location for the new pool.

The City received a grant from Texas Parks and Wildlife for $750,000 towards the construction cost. The pool was designed after broad public input from the community, which drove the selection of amenities.

    Construction is continuing, and we're still on track to be open for Summer 2023. The Lazy River and Lap Pool are coming along nicely! The playground and parking lot at Virginia Weaver Park continue to be open. However, the parking lot (past the playground) will be partially obstructed through the end of the year as the team works on the storm drain.

  • Groundbreaking set for pool project

  • Virginia Weaver Park Selected as Site for Community Outdoor Pool

    Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link

    Thank you for sharing your feedback on site options for the community outdoor pool. Over the course of several months, input was gathered through public community meetings, aquatics stakeholder meetings, surveys of current pool users, meetings of the Parks and Community Development Corporation (CDC) boards, and open comment on this platform (Let's Talk Cedar Hill).

    Considering public input and analysis of the site options, Virginia Weaver Park was selected as the site of the future community outdoor pool based on connectivity to the trail network, proximity to residential population, and other factors. The next step for the project is to engage a design team to complete construction documents.

    The existing pool at Crawford Park will remain operational as the new pool is constructed. The city will pursue master planning exercises with the park's stakeholders to determine future improvements to that park.
