Tucson’s Quincie Douglas Pool, a cherished community hub on the Southside, has undergone a significant transformation thanks to a $1.1 million renovation project.

The improvements, celebrated on Friday, June 6, at 1563 E. 36th Street, were made possible through funding from Proposition 407 and the City’s Investment Fund.

 

Revitalizing Community Spaces

The renovation of Quincie Douglas Pool is more than just an upgrade; it’s a testament to the city’s commitment to addressing historic disinvestment in neighborhoods like Pueblo Gardens and South Park.

Mayor Regina Romero emphasized the importance of such investments for community health and equity, noting that these improvements provide children and families with access to vital recreational resources.

Ward 5 Council Member Rocque Perez echoed this sentiment, highlighting how the pool serves as a gathering place for families during Tucson’s sweltering summers.

The renovations included replacing aging decks, re-plastering the pool shell, refurbishing the slide, and enhancing safety features with new security screens.

 

What This Means for Local Residents

  • Enhanced recreational facilities in historically underserved areas.
  • Improved safety features for peace of mind.
  • A boost in community pride and cohesion.
  • Increased opportunities for youth activities and swimming lessons.

 

The Economic Ripple Effect

Local businesses stand to benefit from increased foot traffic as families flock to the newly renovated pool. Kratt Construction Inc., responsible for completing the project, represents just one example of local economic engagement.

Nearby shops and eateries may also see a seasonal uptick in business as visitors enjoy their time at this revitalized community asset.

This project not only enriches local life but also sets a precedent for future investments in underserved areas.
