The community relies on the Albany Community Pool for swimming instruction, water safety instruction, competitive swimming, community wellness, leisure swimming, and play.

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 current spa configuration makes it very challenging for folks with physical limitations to enter and exit the spa. Climbing multiple steps and limited handrails along with an antiquated lift chair make ADA accessibility 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 renovation of the 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.
Financial sustainability
We understand our responsibility is stewardship of every private, foundation, and taxpayers’ dollar.
With this upgrade, we will save significant dollars on maintaining an outdated spa that is in constant need of repair. This maintenance is not only expensive, but also very time consuming for staff which in-turn is costing money in potential lost revenue.
