The City of West Hollywood will temporarily close the West Hollywood Aquatic Center pools at the Aquatic and Recreation Center (ARC) at West Hollywood Park. The closure is necessary to complete final construction tasks for the newly opened swimming facilities. The closure will begin on Monday, October 10, 2022 and contractor work is anticipated to take approximately three to four weeks to complete.
The City and its contractors will commence work as soon as the pools are closed to complete final construction “punch list” items, which include: reworking tile in bathrooms, waterproofing corrections, installation of lane-line anchors, additional striping, and repairs to the drain structures in the pools. Such items and remaining fixes, additions, and/or changes are typical and often expected at the near-completion of construction projects.
The City is aware this closure is frustrating for pool users and it will work to reopen the pools for community use as rapidly as possible. All affected groups, aquatics classes, and program participants will be notified by the City’s Recreation Services staff; the closure also impacts open swim. Updates for reopening the pools will be posted when available at www.weho.org/pool.

Didn’t this pool just open?? I certainly hope it’s not being drained and refilled for this work to “complete” it…
Heilman’s delusion of grandeur alongside the West Hollywood Library. Sad.
Doesn’t the Term Limits vote keep Heilman no able to run AGAIN!
It will be nice to know where the exorbitant funds for the Robo Garage, WH Park and Affordable Housing wind up. Who has this large a pocket and where are the audits?
The state audits every year
It was a question not an accusation. And as far as audits go, DJT claims he is perpetually being audited.
They never should have messed with West Hollywood Park. It was perfectly fine when they had the little library on site, the tennis courts in the back, and the basketball courts and soccer field/baseball diamond. Didn’t need to touch it. It was a fully functional neighborhood park that served its purpose. Now I kind of can’t even make heads or tails of it anymore.
Totally Agree.
Most of the time older people have respect for elements of the community that the younger generation(s) haven’t grasped. Much of it is poor education both academic and social in addition to pure ignorance.
It’s not because of a Baby Ruth, is it?!? (*That’s an ’80s-era “Caddyshack” joke, kids. Look it up.)
Didn’t it just open?
“near-completion” I was under the impression it was finished and open. “The City is aware this closure is frustrating for pool users . . .” Let me fix that for you – The City is aware this closure is frustrating but doesn’t really give a damn because you can’t do anything about it anyway.
The gift that keeps on giving, this park. Are we up to a billion in costs yet??? The incompetence is frightfully alarming. In the real world, people would have been fired over this disaster.
Before everyone starts having a meltdown, keep in mind that for a couple years now, and especially recently, lead times (and costs) for all kinds of products have increased drastically.
I suppose the bright side is that the pool has been open a couple of weeks during the hottest time of the year.
Exactly! I just want everyone to remember that there are blue collar workers who are doing their best to help fix these problems, and we need to have patience. Let’s not put more pressure on them.
