Portland breaks ground on new Kiwanis Pool expected to open in 2026
Jun. 6—The city of Portland broke ground on the construction of a new Kiwanis Pool on Thursday. Replacing the 60-year-old pool, the new facility will include a splash pad, waterslides, a lawn area, ADA accessible pool entry and lap lanes. The new pool will accommodate up to 400 swimmers at a time, about four times its previous capacity, according to a press release from the city. The updates to the Kiwanis pool, which first opened in 1961, have been in the works since 2019. But last August, when the pool closed for construction, the city was still short more than $5 million in funding needed to complete the project, a gap the city attributed to rising material costs. In the fall the City Council voted unanimously to allocate $4.6 million in American Rescue Plan Act dollars to the project to help fill that gap. Since then, the Portland Parks Conservancy has been raising money to come up with the remaining funds. The new pool is expected to be complete by summer 2026.
