Dublin City Council Culture, Recreation & Amenity Department and City Architects have recently completed successfully the refurbishment of three swimming pools in the city.

The pools are

Crumlin – located within Pearse Park, Windmill Rd – built circa 1970.

Coolock – located on the top level of  Northside Shopping Centre – built circa 1971

Sean McDermott Street – built circa 1976.

All three were suffering from dilapidation through age, lack of care, attention & maintenance, and required up-lift to Building Regulation compliance along with Health & Safety upgrades of Mechanical, Electrical, Fire Safety services.

The internal finishes & fixtures were also improved in an attempt  to make them more welcoming to all users & staff,  and in general to extend the Pools lifespan for an additional 5-10 years.

The most extensive works took place at Crumlin Swimming Pool where the upgrade included the construction of a new insulated roof , new wall tiling to pool hall & changing areas, and upgrade of staff areas.
