Women’s Locker Room Renovations, New, User-Friendly Membership Platform, Summer Concession Stand Revamp & Chemical Controller Enhancements

February 11, 2020 Ella Redkey Pool is making the most of a month-long shutdown by completing a variety of projects that share the common goal of enhancing  the  user experience.


The  outdoor,  geothermally  heated  pool  will  be  closed from Monday, March 2 through Friday, April 3 to accomplish these goals.

WOMEN’S LOCKER ROOM RENOVATION 

The Ella Redkey Pool and City of Klamath Falls have plans for a full overhaul of the men’s and women’s locker rooms that will be completed over the years by dividing the projects into priority-based stages.The first stage, renovating the shower-area of the women’s locker room, is scheduled to be completed in March.

The women’s locker room shower-area renovation will include:

•Sandblasting walls

•Painting walls

•Replacing shower fixtures

•Replacing the vanity and sinks

•Adding new amenities

NEW RECREATION MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE 

The  Pool  will  be  launching  a  new,  user-friendly,  recreation  management  software  solution, CivicRec. CivicRec  will  allow  the  community  greater  visibility  into  Ella  Redkey  Pool’s  activities,  classes,  and  special  events,  and  offer  a  convenient  online  registration  and  payment process. The CivicRec solution is designed to be intuitive to navigate and easy for citizens to  use.  The  platform  is  mobile-friendly,  allowing  the  public  to  search  for  community  activities and events, register, and remit payment even from a smartphone or tablet.  Account  management  is  completely  transparent  with  CivicRec,  each  member  of  Ella  Redkey  Pool  will  have  a  personalized  account  to  view  their  membership,  program  registrations, credits, transfers, and more.  Checking  in  at  the  Pool  will  be  a  simplified  as  well.  Each  member  will  receive  a  personalized  card  that  correlates  with  their  online  account  for  quick  scanning  when  entering the Pool.

SUMMER CONCESSION STAND REVAMP 

After working up an appetite in the Pool, wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a variety of food and drink options available right at Ella Redkey? Over the March shutdown, the “picnic area office” will be transformed into a Snack Shack that  offers  all  the  necessities  to  quench  your  thirst,  replenish  calories  burned  off  in  the  Pool, and provide hours of entertainment. In  addition  to  food  and  drinks,  the  Snack  Shack  will  offer  Pool  games  and  activities  available for purchase and complementary life jacket rentals.

CHEMICAL CONTROLLER ENHANCEMENTS

The Ella Redkey Pool is always looking for new ways to enhance Pool safety. This March, the VersaChlor System, which regulates the amount of chlorine entering the Pool, will be replaced. The new system will provide years of regulated chlorine integration, making an optimal experience for swimmers.
