Description

The City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks intended to renovate the Downey Pool in East Los Angeles. The Downey Pool, approximately 6,750 square-feet in size was originally built in 1918 and re-built in 1998. In the summer of 2003, approximately 7,200 people used this pool. The Downey Pool has stopped operation about three years ago due to apparent sinking foundation. The project will consist of removal and replacement of the existing pool and the construction of a new activity pool. Downey Pool is an outdoor seasonal pool used to host sports programs in the community such as swim team, synchronized swimming, water polo and lifeguard training programs.
