Oregon City To Temporarily Close Pool For Fixes -01/28/25

POOL RENOVATIONS REQUIRE CLOSURE FROM FEB. 26 -- APRIL 6

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Oregon City, ORE. -- The Oregon City Pool will be closing for a month and a half at the end of February to allow for needed refurbishments.

The closure, starting Feb. 26, will allow a team to replaster and retile the pool's shell. It is slated to remain closed through April 6.

While the closure may seem long, it will actually prevent more closures in the future.

Repair work on the existing shell has required numerous closures of the 60-year-old facility. A full replaster and retiling will minimize the need for future closures, and shorten any work windows when any maintenance does need to be performed.

Memberships will be extended to account for the closure, ensuring all residents receive the full value. Any memberships purchased during the closure will not start until April 6 to give the full benefit.

While the pool will be closed at that time, additional classes and programming will still be offered.

• Fitness Classes: All scheduled fitness classes will continue to take place in our community room.
• Indoor Playground: The indoor playground will remain open for your enjoyment.
• Facility Rentals: Our indoor community room will still be available to rent.
• First Aid/CPR/Bloodborne Pathogen/Babysitting courses: are currently being scheduled during this closure for added programs.

Additional programs are being planned as well, with announcements coming soon. Residents can keep up to date on developments by following the Parks and Recreation social channels, or subscribing to E-Trail News.

Oregon City Holding Open House About State-Mandated Parking Standard Changes -01/24/25

Oregon City, ORE. -- The Oregon City Community Development Department is hosting an open house to share the next steps the City is taking to adhere to the Climate Friendly and Equitable Communities (CFEC) mandates set by the State of Oregon.

The open house is scheduled for Monday, Feb. 10 from 6 -- 7 p.m. in the lobby outside the Commission Chambers at the Libke Public Safety Building.

CFEC is a set of rules the State created and handed down to communities to meet its goal of reducing climate pollution by 75% by the year 2050. Many of these rules involve reforms to parking regulations in the state's most populated areas, which include Oregon City.

Oregon City must adopt code reforms that meet CFEC requirements by June 30 of this year. Municipal codes surrounding parking minimums and maximums, electric vehicle charging, parking design standards and bicycle parking must be enacted by this time.

An online open house will also be held for residents who are unable to attend the physical event on Feb. 10. That open house and more information regarding CFEC can be found at orcity.news/cfec.
