Site work and renovation of a swimming pool in New Paltz, New York. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a swimming pool; and for site work for a swimming pool.

The Department of Public Works is now seeking to undertake a significant upgrade of the Ulster County Pool. Proposed improvements include replacing the pool’s bottom and main drain piping, installing a new stainless steel gutter system, and re-plastering the pool to address and prevent leaks. Enhancements will also focus on accessibility, with plans to incorporate zero-depth entry ramps and transform the wading pool into a modern spray ground, making the facility safer and more attractive to a diverse range of users. Additional upgrades will include new ladders, safety equipment, and replacement of the decking to improve both safety and the overall appearance of the pool. In alignment with its commitment to environmental sustainability, Ulster County aims to reduce the pool's reliance on toxic chemicals by updating the chemical control system. This includes implementing a combined saline and chlorine disinfection system to minimize chlorine usage while maintaining effective sanitation. To support these upgrades, the County has been awarded a $3.9 million New York Statewide Investment In More Swimming (NY SWIMS) Program grant. This program requires a 20% local match, which will help offset the costs for taxpayers.
