Pool, Tennis Upgrades OK'd in Mountain Park

Pools and tennis courts in the Mountain Park area will get upgrades, the county Board of Commissioners approved Tuesday.

The projects will be paid for with SPLOST sales tax funds, according to a press release.

The indoor lap and instructional pools at the on Rockbridge Road will be renovated with sandblasting, bonding and plaster installation, and the replacement of tiles, grates, lights and skimmers. The renovation is part of a $186,297 project that also will include renovations at the Collins Hill Aquatic Center in Lawrenceville.

The pools will be closed from Aug. 8 until early October.

Commissioners also approved a $149,250 project to renovate six tennis courts at the on Five Forks-Trickum Road. That project, which includes installation of a geotextile mat surface, will begin later this summer.
