The project began in May 2020 at the pool in the Morley Field Sports Complex, at 2229 Morley Field, and included replacing internal operating systems that were originally installed in 1932.
A new pool recirculation system and overflow recovery gutter system were installed along with new pool stairs, risers, handrails and deck edging to improve visibility and safety. "We're excited for the reopening of this beloved community pool," Gloria said."These extensive renovations restore and enhance the accessibility of Bud Kearns Pool so that it can be enjoyed by all San Diegans for generations to come."
