Demolition completed at Hyde Park for new aquatic facility

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (KQTV) -- Demolition at Hyde Park's pool house is complete, and now paves the way for crews to start work on the new aquatic facility.

The $4,320,000 project is funded by the CIP and parks sales tax. It is expected to be completed by May 2027.

Guests of the facility will be greeted with a renovated pool house equipped with restrooms, concessions and a year-round rental room.

The pool itself will feature a zero-depth entry, a wading area, a sun shelf with in-water seating and an in-water play structure.

There will also be access to a picnic area and shaded seating.
