From August 15 until October 4, 2011, Rossi Pool on Arguello will be closed for repairs and upgrades. Rossi is one of nine city pools that will be closed for a maintenance period between August and May, 2012 (full list of closures).
During the closure period, Rossi will undergo routine and annual inspections, and repairs and upgrades will be made to the facility.
RichmondSFBlog reader Janie says a worker at the site told her they are putting in a new roof and resurfacing the bottom of the pool, as well as putting in a state of the art UV water sanitation system that will require less chlorine in the water.

The closure only affects the pool, right? The basketball court, tennis courts, and such will remain open and usable?
@bee – Yes, that’s correct. Only the pool will be closed.

Bummer! I love going to lap swim at that pool. But if it will make it better, I’m all for it.
According to one of the workers there, they are putting in a new roof and resurfacing the bottom of the pool. Also, they are putting in a state of the art UV water sanitation system which will mean less chlorine in the water – yay! We love Rossi!
@Janie – Thanks for the additional info! I’ll add it to the post.
