San Diego's oldest public pool was upgraded with a new deck, modern infrastructure and features to accommodate people with disabilities.
Out of commission for two years, Bud Kearns Municipal Pool — San Diego’s oldest public pool — was ceremoniously reopened Saturday morning with a ribbon-cutting event that was followed by a popular water aerobics class and open swim time.
“We tried to preserve as much as possible of that historic feeling, and so we kept the dimensions the same but basically everything underground is new,” said Nicole McNeil, who is the district manager of aquatics for San Diego’s Parks and Recreation Department. “I would say we got 90 years of good use out of the previous construction,” Gloria said. “It was time to make an investment, and we have done that, and I think the results speak for themselves. Investments by the city helped return this magnificent public asset back to its original glory.”
