Rec. Dept. To Hold Public Mtg. On Warwick Pool

For Immediate Release: October 2, 2014

Alexandria Park and Recreation Commission to Hold Public Hearing on the Condition and Potential Future Improvements to the Warwick Pool Facility

The Alexandria Park and Recreation Commission will hold a public hearing on the Warwick Pool Facility including potential improvement activities and Capital Improvement Program funding on Thursday, October 9, 7 p.m., at the Charles Houston Recreation Center located at 901 Wythe St. After discussion on the Warwick Pool, the Commission will hear comments from City residents on any other park and recreation related issue not previously discussed in a public hearing by the Commission. The regular monthly meeting of the Commission will follow the public hearing.

In May 2014, staff performed an Existing Site and Building Analysis of the Warwick Pool Facility to identify items that may affect the City’s ability to sustain normal operations following the FY 2015 season (Summer 2014). The analysis included an assessment of the community building, pool shell, pool deck, and access to the immediate pool site.  The adjacent Landover Park and playground are not included in the analysis. 

Individuals who are unable to attend the public hearing may send written comments to the Department of Recreation, Parks and Cultural Activities, Attention: Laura Durham, City Open Space Coordinator, 1108 Jefferson St., Alexandria, VA 22314; e-mail laura.durham@alexandriava.gov; or fax to 703.684.6826 by 5 p.m. Thursday, October 9.
