The sights and sounds of children swimming will return to Calwa Park for the first time in many years.
Kaiser Permanente Fresno announced Tuesday morning that it is funding the construction of a new pool at the popular park south of the Fresno city limits.
September Opening for Kaiser Permanente Aquatic Center
Construction starts this summer on the ground east of the park’s old, unused pool. The new pool — dubbed the Kaiser Permanente Aquatic Center — is expected to open in late September in the vicinity of the children’s wading pool.
The old pool, built during the 1950s and in need of about $500,000 in repairs, will be filled in, officials said.
“We heard how much this community missed having access to a pool and wanted to make sure the community had this resource available to them,” said Wade Nogy, senior VP and area manager for Kaiser Permanente Fresno.
“This pool will provide opportunities for families to stay active and cool during the summer, and lead to a healthier Calwa community.”
News Delights Quintero
Fresno County Supervisor Sal Quintero, whose district includes Calwa, has championed a new pool for many years.

— Refillable water bottle stations installed by CMG Construction Inc.
— Aquatic exercise programs and swim lessons for children, adults, and seniors.
