Civic Center Indoor Pool Project Update (10/27/2025)

Rocky River City Council is currently considering legislation authorizing the replacement of the dehumidification unit for the Civic Center Indoor Pool. The project will require a temporary pool closure - anticipated for Summer 2026, with the exact timeline to be determined as details are finalized.

The Recreation Department is exploring options to best support our members and aquatic programs during the closure, including membership freezes and alternative locations for swim opportunities.

Please visit our website regularly for project updates and additional information as it becomes available.

Thank you for your continued support as we work to enhance our facilities for the Rocky River community.

What we know now:

  • The current unit is original to construction of the Civic Center Addition in 2007.

  • The closure is only expected to impact the natatorium, not the remainder of the facility.

  • The closure should take 3-4 months with the entire project taking roughly 290 days.

  • Programming should have minimal impacts. We will utilize the outdoor pool (if the dates align) for aquatic programming.

  • Fairview Park is considering reciprical use of their new pool (pending completion timeline).

  • Westlake anticipates a similar closure of their pool; we do not anticipate that our members will have access to their pool during our closure.

Details to be determined:

  • The exact schedule of the project. We anticipate it happening over the summer months, currently.

  • Exact details of what other pools may be available for open/lap swimming.

  • Exact hours, if applicable, the outdoor pool will open for morning lap swim opportunities.
