Como Park has a long history of being one of Saint Paul’s crown jewels. Como Park features an accredited zoo, renowned conservatory, expansive green space, golf course, lake, tennis courts, athletic fields including three new artificial turf fields and a host of other park amenities. Como Park also is home to an aging pool that is in desperate need of replacement.

Como Pool has extensive infrastructure, mechanical and electrical issues that have deteriorated to the point that short term repairs will no longer be sufficient. The City remains committed to keeping a pool in Como Park. To address this commitment, the next steps will be to take the current facility out of operation for a period of time, and begin a detailed design process with the intent to have the facility online at a future date.

Project Information
A replacement design process began with the the formation of a design task force made up of community members, city staff and external aquatic consultants.

(All design task force meetings were open to the public for observation, but concerns/comments from non-task force members were voiced through the appropriate task force representative)

Project Manager: Don Ganje, Landscape Architect
Ph: (651) 266-6425

Design Development
Development of the construction plans and specifications for the pool, bath house, concessions building, and parking lots is currently under way.
 
Bidding of the project is anticipated for early August.
