GRIFFITH PARK—On March 26, the Friends of Griffith Park announced after nearly a decade, the Griffith Park pool will reopen, with an upgrade.  Reports indicate that city officials approved a $40 million budget to rebuild the pool area.

While the pool may be smaller than the old facility, the new one will include a training area, and a splash pad.  Reports indicate there will be an entire swimming complex, and the pool will be suitable for competitive swimming groups/teams to utilize.

The Griffith Park pool, “The Plunge,” is currently closed, and has been closed since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.  Historical records indicate the first time the pool opened was in 1927.

Construction is scheduled to begin during the summer of 2026, with an estimated completion to be in early 2029.
