The Village of Saddle Rock Pool, which was originally supposed to be open by Memorial Day, is now scheduled to open May 30 as work men complete a renovation project than began a year and a half ago, the village announced Thursday.
“We were shooting for Memorial Day because everybody does,” said Hinda Goldman, Village of Saddle Rock clerk and treasurer. “But we had bad weather for long periods of time and construction got delayed.”
The pool project includes a renovated main pool and baby pool, updated pumps, refurbished bathrooms and showers, new fencing and new patio furniture.
The pool, located at 18 Masefield Way, will now be heated as well, Goldman said.
Village of Saddle Rock Mayor Dan Levy said in an email to village residents Thursday that construction workers began to “fill and compact the earth around both pools” that morning, and that Friday the concrete around the decks would be poured.
“This part of the project has to be done in sections, with great attention to detail,” Levy said in the email.
Goldman said the 65-year-old pool was no longer passing state health codes — the pump room was antiquated and the pool itself had many cracks.
She said she would not know the final cost of the project until the work was completed.
