Share Your Ideas by April 28

The City of Asheville is replacing the existing, aging, and unsafe municipal pool in Malvern Hills Park with a new, modern, and code-compliant aquatics facility that enhances community recreation opportunities and ensures accessibility for all residents. City staff members are reviewing top aquatic design and architecture firms' responses to the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) shared last month and expect to announced the winning team soon.

To ensure the selected firm can get to work quickly, we’ve launch a community survey to gather ideas, preferences, and potential uses for the new pool. This is an opportunity to let us know what features and experiences are most important. Feedback from the survey will be used to design community engagement sessions in the coming weeks, further refining ideas to design a space that reflects the entire community’s spirit.

Planning Ahead: Aquatic Adventures This Summer

Following catastrophic Helene-related destruction to Recreation Park’s pool, the City of Asheville will only open the public pool at Grant Southside Center this year. However, the pool will be open longer hours to accommodate more community members.

While we build for the future, Asheville Parks & Recreation wants to make the most of this summer by bringing the splash directly to Malvern Hills Park. Save the date for these FREE, fun-filled water events at the park!

• May 8 – Toddler Water World Takeover
• June 12 – Summer Splash Day
• June 24 – Foam Frenzy Party
• July 27 – Summer Splash Day
• August 5 – Summer Splash Day
