Snellville’s mayor and city council approved a contract Monday to resurface the pool at Briscoe Park. Positively Pools will resurface the 42-year-old pool for $47,400 using 2014 SPLOST funds.
Briscoe Park pool was originally built in 1974 and only included the pool itself and surrounding deck. In 2002, the pool area was renovated by adding a kids’ Splash Pad area and a pool house building containing an office, restrooms, storage and outdoor showers, but nothing was done to the existing pool.
While the Snellville Parks and Recreation Department continues to work with its pool management company to make sure Gwinnett county regulations are followed and the condition of equipment is healthy and within industry standards, the pool is overdue for repair and must be taken care of now to maintain standards.
The repair work includes the pool plaster, racing lanes, waterline tile, in-wall steps, a filter sand change and includes a 12-month warranty.
