The community relies on Albany Community Pool for swimming instruction, water safety instruction, competitive swimming, community wellness, leisure swimming and play. The Therapeutic Spa Replacement Project is a replacement & revisioning of a thirty-year-old spa system to ensure we can serve every community member, every day for many years to come.
New spa features:
- Constant 102°-104° temperature
- 16-person capacity
- ADA accessible
- Multiple therapeutic jets
What will this upgrade mean for our community?
Everyday access for all
Steady community growth has brought our therapeutic spa usage to capacity, making it difficult to balance simultaneous uses, especially during peak pool hours. The renovation will add and optimize space to ensure everyday access for families, athletes and individual users of all ages.
Better accessibility for our ADA community members
The former spa configuration made it very challenging for folks with physical limitations to enter and exit the spa. ADA accessibility is a priority in the new therapeutic spa design. By eliminating the need to climb stairs with a transfer wall and a high-quality lift chair, our ADA community can enjoy the spa worry free.
Caring for our seniors
The new therapeutic spa will greatly improve the ability for our senior population to ease sore muscles after swimming, sooth inflamed joints from arthritis and offer a much-needed recovery tool after knee, hip and back surgery. Entering and exiting the spa with ease will provide a safe location to support the healing process.
Help raise funds for the spa through our community giving campaign.
Campaign Goal: Replace existing outdated above-ground hot tub with a new in-ground therapeutic spa that will have the accessibility needed for the community pool.
Estimated Project Cost: $250,000
Completion Goal: Winter 2025
