A major renovation took place in 1967 which reconfigured the pool to its current shape, added a new
bathhouse, new piping and a filtration system. Another renovation completed in 1992 consisted of the
reconstruction of the pool resulting in the addition of a zero depth entry, PVC liner, vacuum sand filtration
system, and stainless steel gutters.
In July 2010, the City was forced to close the pool due to the failure of the 18 year old pool liner that was
installed in 1992. In Fiscal Year 2011, there were no swimming pools operated by the City of Fort Worth
(Sycamore Spray- Ground was open). In an effort to mitigate the closure of the pools, the City entered into
an Agreement with the YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth that allowed public access to four YMCA pools
during designated hours with payment of a nominal admission fee.
The closure of all seven City pools for the 2011 swim season resulted in a high level of public concern for
the absence of aquatic facilities operated by the City of Fort Worth and heightened the awareness of City
administrators, policy- makers and other community -based private entities of the public's level of desire
and interest for the provision of these services. One of the private community based entities that
expressed interest in working with the City to get a pool re- opened was The Radler Foundation, a private
not - for - profit foundation. Under the direction of the City Manager's Office, and with support from the Office
of the Mayor and the City Council District 9 Office, the Parks and Community Services Department
(PACS) was tasked with exploring the potential for a jointly funded public - private cooperative effort that
would result in a sufficient amount of repairs to re -open the pool.
In anticipation of this possibility, the PACS secured design /professional services through the Department
of Transportation and Public Works /Architectural Services and Facilities annual Agreement for preparation
of construction documents for the repair of the Forest Park Pool. The City and The Radler Foundation
have agreed to fund the repair work on a 2/3 Foundation to 1/3 City basis, up to the amount of
$750,000.00. Any costs associated with the repair of the Forest Park Pool in excess of $750,000.00 are to
be funded by the City. The total project budget that is requested under this M &C is $830,000.00, which
includes $330,000.00 of Capital Projects Reserve Fund and incorporates a percentage contingency to
allow for any additional unforeseen costs that might occur given the advanced age of the infrastructure. If
cost savings are realized below $750,000.00, the savings are to be allocated on a 2/3 Foundation and 1/3
City basis. Under the proposed grant Agreement, the Foundation will deposit its funds into an escrow
account, and the City will be able to draw down from the account to be reimbursed for the Foundation's
percentage of repairs as they occur.
In addition to the grant from The Radler Foundation, other vendors have committed to contribute
professional and construction services to the project.
Forest Park Pool is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9.
