Schematic design of Phillips Community Center pool renovation approved by MPRB

Numerous public and private partners contribute toward $5.4 million upgrade

 On October 21, 2015, the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) of Commissioners approved the schematic design of renovations planned for the Phillips Community Center Aquatics Facility.

The state of Minnesota, Hennepin County Youth Sports Program, MPRB, Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) and local non-profit Minneapolis Swims all contributed funding to reimagine and rebuild this crucial community asset.

“It was inspiring to see so many people step up and share their ideas, opinions and passion supporting the pool”'s revival,” said MPRB Superintendent Jayne Miller.

“The Phillips pool will be the only public indoor pool in Minneapolis offering year-round swimming instruction when it reopens,” added MPRB District 3 Commissioner Scott Vreeland. “Everyone should learn to swim, and this will be a great place for children, families and elders to play, exercise and learn about water activities.
