Title

New Aquatic and Community Center at Heather Farm Park Project

Description

The City of Walnut Creek (City) proposes to demolish the existing Heather Farm Community Center, construct a new Aquatic/Community Center and implement other associated parking and site improvements (e.g., landscaping, pathways, modifications to the existing concrete pond). Following construction of the new Aquatic/Community Center, the City would demolish the existing Clarke Memorial Swim Center. The proposed Aquatic/Community Center would be 27,023 square feet in size and single-story (approximately 30 feet) in height with event and multipurpose spaces, classrooms, locker rooms, offices, a conference room, and a kitchen. Two pools would be located between North San Carlos Drive and the proposed building: a 50-meter lap pool and a recreational pool. A pool mechanical building and a park storage building would also be constructed near the southeast corner of the project site. The proposed project would also include outdoor improvements to the project site, including a new entry courtyard and staff patio on the eastern side and an event terrace, event garden, and multiple lawns on the western side between the proposed building and the Concrete Pond. Lawns would also be provided surrounding the new pools. New accessible pedestrian paths would be installed throughout the project site, and the existing bicycle path that runs along North San Carlos Drive would be retained.
