The Snellville City Council approved a contract Jan. 25 to resurface the pool at Briscoe Park. The $47,400 contract is awarded to Positively Pools to resurface the 42-year-old community pool. 2014 SPLOST funds will cover the cost or renovations.
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.
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 replacement repair and requires attention 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.
