Community Outdoor 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.
