Noble Park Pool Renovation Project

The City of Paducah is embarking on a rehabilitation project for the Noble Park Pool.  Earlier in 2012,  The photo to the left from August 2012 before renovations began.

Florence & Hutchison (a local engineering company) conducted a preliminary report showing that the Noble Park Pool needed a new liner system, gutter and piping systems, circulation, filtration, and disinfection systems, and new treatment buildings.  F&H also recommended a new slide, diving boards, lifeguard chairs, and platforms.

The pool is being equipped with a new liner, gutter system, and treatment and filtration system Three new canopies will be added to the 15 tables with umbrellas and 56 chaise lounges to provide shade and seating for swimmers and non-swimmers to enjoy. The wading pool has been removed and is being replaced by a spray pad for the younger children. The pool will have a double slide feature and two new diving boards. The concession stand is receiving upgrades to provide a menu expansion.

The project is set to be completed in time for the pool's scheduled opening in May 2013.  However, there is a possibility that the spray pad which is replacing the baby pool will not be finished until one to three weeks after the pool opens for the season.  The Noble Park Pool has not received a significant renovation since 1992.  The pool averages 300-400 visitors per day during the summer.
