The City's Monroe Street Pool (built in 1982) has been closed since March 2025 for an 18-month renovation and replacement (a larger pool with 50% more lanes, bigger deck, lockers, outdoor showers, shade, bleachers, family restrooms, more parking and a room for meetings and small gatherings like birthday parties). As of Sept. 28, 2026 it is still closed and no reopening date has been announced; the City's pages said it would stay closed 'through summer 2026' and reopen 'by early fall 2026'. The fee schedule lists it as 'Closed for Renovations'. Alga Norte Aquatic Center is the City's pool in the meantime.
