Alpharetta has started construction on a renovation project in Wills Park.

The city will update the public pool facilities at the park, which have not been renovated since 1987. The project also includes the construction of a new competition pool, a new leisure pool, shade pavilions and other amenities.

The total spent will be $5,731,983, which includes $255,065 in owner’s contingency, Assistant City Administrator James Drinkard said.
