2016 CLOSURE SUMMARY
In 2016, the District closed the pool for one week to replace sinks, toilets and mirrors and to fix a leak that created standing water in the women’s locker room showers. See below to view a list of past District projects.
2017 CLOSURE FEATURED PROJECT: BULKHEAD REPLACEMENT
As part of the 2017 closure, the District will be replacing Mount Rainier’s Bulkhead. The current bulkhead is fixed to the pool deck, but the replacement will be able to move.
