SANTA FE, N.M. (KRQE) – Renovations to the Bicentennial Pool in Santa Fe are officially complete. Officials hosted a ribbon-cutting for the $2.3 million project on Wednesday.
The pool was shut down in 2020 because of major leaks. The improvements include a new lap pool, new decking, and landscaping around the pools, as well as a host of repairs and preventative maintenance. They also made some eco-friendly changes, like new energy-saving lighting and water-saving fixtures.

The city is also rolling out a new lineup of activities at the pool such as the Learn to Swim program for kids.
