Kapa‘a Swimming Pool estimated to reopen August

KAPA‘A – The Department of Parks and Recreation (DOPR) is announcing that the Kapa‘a Swimming Pool is estimated to reopen in early August 2023.

With renovations to the pool beginning in August 2022, this project's scope of work includes replacing and upgrading the pool filtration, recirculation, and chlorination systems. Renovations are also made to the gutter edge and drainage systems. Installation work also includes a new plaster finish for the pool's interior and the replacement of deck and lane tile markers. 

Pacific Concrete Cutting & Coring, Inc., is contracted for this project.

Officials initially anticipated construction to be complete by late May 2023. However, further renovations were deemed necessary before the pool reopened. When exposed after removing the tiles and plaster, the pool's original shell was more deteriorated than expected.

For questions or more information, please contact DOPR at 808-241-4460.
