A substantial renovation to Reston’s Lake Thoreau pool is 25% complete, putting the multi-million dollar project on track for opening by the 2023 pool season.
Demolition, regrading and structural support for the elevated deck are officially complete, according to Chris Schumaker, Reston Association’s capital projects director. At a Dec. 15 board meeting, Schumaker said the planned addition to the bathhouse will begin shortly after the New Year.
“We’re currently holding on schedule and anticipate opening sometime during the 2023 pool season,” he said.
Fine grading, structural steel work and concrete work is in progress for the pool basin, he told the board.
The project could see delays due to weather impacts — but currently no delays are anticipated.
On-site work at 2040 Upper Lake Drive began over the summer. The facility has been closed since 2020 for the renovation project, which was first set to break ground in the fall of 2021.
The renovated facility will include six lap lanes and a ramp to provide ADA access, a redesigned deck, a larger 25-space parking lot, an overlook with a pollinated garden, and expanded bathhouses.
The project is expected to cost roughly $3.5 million.
