Anniston Pool Construction Project Set to Begin Aug. 1, with Completion Expected by Summer 2027
A significant new amenity is taking shape in Anniston, where construction on the neighborhood pool is scheduled to begin Aug. 1, 2026.
The approximately $2.5 million project represents a major investment in the community’s recreational spaces and is expected to give residents a new place to swim, gather and spend time together during the warmer months.
The project representative described the planned improvement simply: “Starting construction on the neighborhood pool.”
Construction Scheduled to Begin in August
Residents may begin noticing construction activity, equipment and crews near the future pool site beginning in early August.
When asked when work is expected to start, the project representative said, “August 1, 2026.”
As construction progresses, nearby residents could experience temporary changes involving traffic, noise or access around the work area. Specific construction schedules, closures or neighborhood impacts have not yet been announced.
Pool Expected to Open by Summer 2027
The construction timeline places the project on track to serve Anniston families during a future summer season, though completion dates for major construction projects can shift because of weather, permitting, materials or other unforeseen conditions.
The project representative identified the estimated completion date as “Summer 2027.”
For families planning ahead, the timeline means the new Anniston neighborhood pool could become a central destination for summer recreation, neighborhood events and informal gatherings.
A $2.5 Million Community Investment
The estimated cost reflects the scale of the planned neighborhood improvement.
When asked about the project budget, the representative said, “$2.5 million.”
Details about the pool’s design, size, features, operating schedule and access policies were not included in the information provided. Those details will likely help residents better understand how the new amenity will function and what it will offer once completed.
For Anniston homeowners and families, the project is more than another construction site. A neighborhood pool can become a familiar place where children learn to swim, neighbors meet one another and families build traditions close to home.
What Happens Next
Construction is currently expected to begin Aug. 1, 2026, with completion targeted for summer 2027. Residents should watch for future announcements regarding site access, construction impacts, pool features and opening plans.
