Malvern Hills Pool Supporters,

This morning, Asheville Parks and Recreation announced that it has officially opened bidding for aquatics and architectural firms to redesign and rebuild Malvern Hills Pool! This is amazing news...and it's all thanks to our community's efforts.

You can sign up for these email updates on the project page: https://publicinput.com/a86066

Today's message stated that a public survey will become available in March. We will keep everyone updated!

Thank you for all of the hard work and support -- together, we made this happen.

Looking forward to seeing our children swim at Malvern Hills Pool again!

From Parks and Rec's Email Update, Today:

"Making Waves: RFQ for Pool Design is Live!

Are you ready, Ashevillians? The journey to a new pool for Malvern Hills Park has officially begun. The City of Asheville just posted the Request for Qualifications (RFQ), inviting top aquatic design and architecture firms to outline their best ideas to meet the needs of our city. Expect the winning team to be selected in April – and then the real fun begins!

To ensure the selected firm can hit the ground running (or hit the water swimming, rather), in March we’ll launch a community survey to gather ideas, preferences, and potential uses for the new pool. This is an opportunity to tell us what features and experiences you most want to see. The City of Asheville and the chosen design firm will use feedback from the survey to host in-person and virtual community engagement sessions, further refining ideas to design a space that reflects our community’s spirit.

While the main focus is on the pool, the project also includes renovating the existing bathhouse, modernizing features to meet current code and increasing accessibility for everyone. Other elements of the park such as sidewalks, parking, and green space may also be impacted."
