WGRA Pool Renovation Page

A Message to Our Members

Following multiple permitting delays and a recent inspection by the state (DES), the WGRA Board determined that the existing pool requires significant repairs and cannot safely open in its current condition.

The board carefully considered whether to make temporary repairs to open the pool for one final summer. Ultimately, we concluded that investing substantial time, money, and volunteer effort into a facility that would soon be replaced was not the responsible path forward.

Instead, the board voted unanimously to proceed with the full renovation now. While this means a different summer for our community, it allows us to focus our resources on building a modern facility that will serve Wellington Green families for decades to come.

What This Means for Summer 2026

While construction begins this spring, we want to be transparent about what to expect this year.

For Summer 2026:

• The pool will not open at the start of the season
• Construction and permitting are underway
• A late-summer opening may be possible, depending on construction progress
• WGRA is arranging partner pools so families still have places to swim

We will continue to share updates as the project moves forward.

Swimming Options for 2026

The board is currently finalizing partnerships with nearby pools so WGRA members will still have access to swimming this summer.

Our goal is to ensure that WGRA families can swim at partner pools at rates comparable to Wellington Green membership.

Details we will share soon:

• Participating pools
• Member rates
• Registration instructions

If you choose to join a different pool outside of our agreements, 2025 WGRA members will still be treated as returning members for early-bird pricing and priority registration in 2027.
