The Old Town Pool Replacement project will replace the existing pool and bathhouse with a new facility.  The project planning started in 2012 with the City’s Aquatic Facilities Study, which recommended replacing the current aging pool with a new facility. The improvements are funded through the City of Alexandria’s Capital Improvement Program.
