The city of West Hollywood is planning to open the new West Hollywood Park Aquatic and Recreation Center in April.
Envisioned as a space for programs, events, sports and recreation, the facility is nearing final completion. Although the project was subject to unforeseen delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic and supply-chain disruptions, the city is excited about opening the new facility to the community.
The city is also moving forward on a phased approach to opening improved park amenities. El Tovar Place is open, re-establishing a connection between San Vicente and Robertson boulevards, as well as access to West Hollywood Park and the five-story parking structure. The West Hollywood Library’s plinth garage is also open, providing staff and patron parking when the library is open.
New West Hollywood Park facilities will open to the public following safety checks and final approvals. Amenities include updated children’s playgrounds and the Robertson Gardens park area with new picnic areas.
Crews are putting the finishing touches on the new four-level, 75,000-square-foot Aquatic and Recreation Center. It will feature two rooftop swimming pools and a multi-sport court for basketball, volleyball and dodgeball. The center will also feature five community meeting rooms and a conference room, Recreation Services staff offices, lockers, a Tiny Tot program classroom and public access television studio.
The city plans to move forward soon on the AIDS Monument, a collaboration between the Foundation for a National AIDS Monument, artist Dan Tobin and the city of West Hollywood. The AIDS Monument will be located in the park’s expanded open space along San Vicente Boulevard. For updates, visit weho.org/whparkproject.
