CITY CELEBRATES POOL AND SLIDE IMPROVEMENTS AT QUINCIE DOUGLAS POOL - The City of Tucson will celebrate recent improvements to Quincie Douglas Pool tomorrow, June 6, at 1 p.m., at 1563 E. 36th St. Mayor Regina Romero, Ward 5 Council Member Rocque Perez, and the Parks and Recreation department are hosting the event. The $1.1 million renovation, completed by Kratt Construction Inc., was funded with $437,180 from Proposition 407 and $683,638 from the City’s Investment Fund. Upgrades included replacing the pool and splash pad decks, re-plastering the pool shell, refurbishing the slide and its concrete pedestals, installing new sand filter tanks, and adding security screens to the lifeguard house windows. Proposition 407, approved by voters in 2018, funds citywide parks and connection improvements.
