Site work and new construction of a mixed-use development in Walnut Creek, California. Design plans call for the construction of a 23,500-square-foot clubhouse / community center; and swimming pool.

The Heather Farm Park Aquatic and Community Center will be a one-story, approximately 23,500-square-foot facility on a 4.7-acre site. The council’s preferred design will feature an angled layout with simplified roofs. It will provide separate entries with direct connections for indoor and outdoor programming spaces. The plan includes a central atrium for multi-purpose use. The city will replace the three existing pools with two, installing a family recreation pool and a lap pool. The recreational pool features a zero-depth beach entry, play structure and a splash zone. The design includes a current channel that uses moving water to promote fitness or ease-of-walking. The recreational pool will be attached to a 25-yard, six-lane deep-end pool.A barrier will separate the family recreation pool from the Olympic-sized pool. The pool will be 50 meters long, 25 meters wide and will include walkout stairs, 13 lanes and diving boards. The pool’s shallow end will be 3 feet deep, whereas the deep end will be 13 feet deep. Plans also include lawns, an aquatics classroom and offices, locker rooms/family restrooms, pool storage and a lifeguard room. The facility will include outdoor gathering spaces, providing terraces, gardens, courtyards and patios for meetings and events. The city will build a landscape berm to help enhance privacy and reduce noise between the park and pools. As of May 13, 2024, this project is currently in the design phase. Construction will begin summer 2025.
