Lake Worth Beach commissioners ready to dive into deeper, pricier swimming pool design
DESIGN A DEEPER multi-use public swimming pool, Lake Worth Beach city commissioners told a consultant eight months ago.
On Aug. 15, a new rectangular design for a deeper and more expensive oceanfront swimming pool will be presented to commissioners.
This one has depths ranging from 3 feet to 10 feet, starting with the shallowest section on the north end of the pool and the deepest sarees at the south end, according to an architectural rendering in the commission’s agenda.
The previous version, presented to the commission Dec. 6, called for a $12 million pool no more than 4 feet deep. That drew sharp criticism from commissioners, who a few days later at an agenda-review meeting questioned why CPZ Architects would design such a shallow pool to replace the city’s shuttered public pool at the beach casino.

It's been years. Can we just get a pool?
They never should have shut down the pool to begin with and allow it to decay beyond repair. It should have been repaired per the advice of engineering firm Kimley-Horn for $500k years ago.
I believe one of the residents called the news about the pool condition and nobody wanted to do anything just like everything else in the city nobody wants to do anything until it's too late in the news gets involved
I just can't understand why they can't fix the pool that that we have it was fine with the depth that we had I think it had a diving board and everything and in the shallow end why can't we just go with that instead of billions of dollars
I have a question with all these apartments being built in lake Worth Beach and all these new houses being built you think the city can afford to put a pool in I wonder where all these new tax monies going for all these new apartments and new houses where's all that revenue going
Yet there is NO money in the budget to fix a fence around the park on S B Street. The neighbor has been asking the city for months to fix the fence before a child gets seriously hurt.
