Tolleson Pool Rebuild -

The existing Tolleson Pool is in need of a rebuild after 60 years of service because of deterioration of the facilities and public safety issues. The new project will include a heated competition pool, recreational family pool and a zero-entry little kids splash area, stand-alone waterslide, shaded area for younger children, bleachers for competitions/meets, expanded parking, and a services building.  These features are planned based on over 1,000 individual citizen responses from multiple public input sessions. The project will take 24 - 30 months to complete design and construction, the new Aquatics Center is anticipated to be completed in March 2027 with the location grand opening planned for Spring 2027. 

The new city aquatics facility will provide recreation opportunities for 500 people (an increase from 180), will be city operated, and is estimated to cost between $16 - $18 million. It will be paid for through the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) and public financing. 

Because of the cost of an indoor aquatics facility ballooned to between $40-$50 million, and considering $1-2 million annual maintenance and staffing costs, the decision was made to not move forward with an indoor pool. There is no other Cobb County city that has a city-run pool, and Smyrna has two (which includes the Wolfe Senior Center pool). We are looking forward to these dramatic improvements at Tolleson Park and look forward to opening it to you in 2027.
