The Lehigh Acres Community Park surrounds the pool. Staff is available year-round to answer any questions. In 2004, a renovation project included resurfacing the interior of the pool with a new aggregate finish. The project also included a new pool deck, facility fencing, and upgrading the old DE filtration system with a new high rate sand filtration system. In late 2007 and early 2008, a capital improvement project included renovation of the restrooms, the addition of indoor showers, and new non-skid flooring.
