The Walnut Creek City Council last week unanimously approved sending a $77 million overhaul of Heather Farm Park to the design/development phase.

Made possible by voters passing Measure O in 2022 to increase the city’s sales tax, the City Council agreed on April 16 that the Aquatic and Community Center Facility at Heather Farm Park will replace the existing community center and swimming center with a new combined aquatic and community center.

The aquatic component will consist of an 18-lane, 50-meter competitive lap pool and a 25-meter family recreational pool with a beach entry, a slide, and a children’s water spray device. Locker rooms will be part of the adjacent community center building. The center will operate with electricity from solar panels.

The large pool will be configured to World Aquatics standards for competition. The entire pool space will encompass more than 35,000 square feet.

The new 23,400-square-foot community center will be able to function as an emergency operations center for the city as well. The city’s current emergency operations center is a conference room at City Hall.
