Aquatic Facilities Future
Summary
Flora and Sutton pools are 30+ years old and near the end of a typical 25-40 year lifespan, though neither has a 'fatal flaw.' Consultants propose possibly replacing Sutton with a new neighborhood pool, rebuilding at Flora with a possible indoor expansion, and adding splash pads — with 84% of survey respondents open to a pools levy. Final recommendations arrive in early 2027.
