Demolition ceremony will launch Briarwood Park pool improvements

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WHAT:   Grab your earplugs and join the fun! A special “Fire up the jackhammers!” event is being held to ceremoniously launch the Briarwood Park pool demolition. This is the first major construction project utilizing a portion of the $40 million Park Bond capital improvement funds.

WHO:              Mayor John Ernst

                        Councilman John Park

                        Additional Council Members and Guests                  

WHEN:           Tuesday, October 1

                        10:30 a.m.

WHERE:         Briarwood Park, 2235 Briarwood Way, Brookhaven

The improvements, designed by Lose Designs based on input from residents and local swim teams, will include a new zero-entry pool with spray features for play. A portion of the pool will transition into a 75-foot long six-lane competition section that will be used by swim teams that operate out of the park. A nearby “cool surface” pool deck will feature a new pavilion, bleachers, and umbrellas for shade. The new 4,000 square-foot pool house will contain restrooms, locker rooms, concessions, ticket office and a lifeguard room. Jacobs Engineering Group Inc., an Atlanta technical professional services firm, will be in charge of the day-to-day work on the project.
