Summary
The 35-year-old pool has leaks under the pool deck, a corroded surge tank and failing filters. Fixing known problems costs $1-1.5 million and still risks more failures; modernization is about $15 million, and the city doesn't have that money. Swim lessons and programs will move to the indoor pool, and staff will explore partnerships.

Special City Council Meeting - Apr 15, 2026
A private company approached the city about transforming the seasonal aquatic center into a year-round indoor sports complex (possibly with an indoor track and a splash pad elsewhere) via a public-private partnership, with the city keeping ownership of the land and Troy residents getting discounts. It's very early — no proposal is ready for approval.
