A New WGRA Pool is Underway!
Wellington Green Recreation Association is undertaking a comprehensive renovation of our 60-year-old pool facility to ensure compliance with state regulations and provide 60 more years of community enjoyment.
After permitting delays and a recent state inspection, the WGRA Board voted to move forward with the full renovation of our pool facility. Construction is beginning this spring as we work toward reopening with a new pool designed to serve our community for decades. Because of this, the pool will not open at the start of the 2026 season.
While we hope a late-summer opening may be possible, that timeline will depend on permitting and construction progress. Scroll down to learn more about where we are in the process.
Current Status
- The pool will not open at the start of the 2026 season
- Construction and permitting are underway
- Late-summer 2026 opening possible but not guaranteed
- Target full-season reopening: Summer 2027
2026 Season Update
After a recent inspection by the state (DES), the WGRA Board determined that the current pool cannot safely open in its existing condition. Rather than investing significant resources into temporary repairs for one summer, the board voted unanimously to proceed with the full renovation project.
Because construction is beginning this spring, the pool will not open at the start of the 2026 season. If construction progresses faster than expected, we will evaluate the possibility of a late-summer opening, though that timeline is not yet certain.
Swimming Options for Summer 2026
WGRA is finalizing partnerships with nearby pools so members will still have places to swim this summer at rates comparable to Wellington Green membership.
Our goal is to ensure families can access a pool this summer without paying significantly more than they would at WGRA. It is also our goal to seamlessly transition you back to WGRA membership, whether in the late 2026 season or in the new 2027 season.

Gators Swim Team Update
Great news for our swimmers: the WGRA Gators swim team will continue this summer!
SAIL has waived the rule requiring swimmers to hold a family membership at the host pool, allowing all returning swimmers to compete as Gators regardless of where they swim during the renovation season.🐊
