The District has recently been informed of the need to address major subsurface soil challenges before pool repairs or a replacement can take place. We are yet to receive cost estimates to repair or to fully replace the pool. Whichever path the Town of Eagle and Mountain Rec take will require complex solutions that take more time, funds, and collaboration to do right. Both partners want nothing more than to ensure tax dollars are spent wisely, and to deliver the kind of repair project that ensures the pool will be healthy and operational for years to come.

Recognizing the community’s needs were not being met by the outdoor pool in Eagle, Mountain Rec worked with Town of Eagle to fund and build the current Eagle Pool & Ice Rink facility. The total cost of the facility was $5.2 million and Mountain Rec provided funding for about half of the project with Town of Eagle providing the other half. Mountain Rec paid the bonds issued 10 years ahead of schedule.
Town of Eagle and Mountain Rec place funds in the capital reserves annually to ensure facility is maintained and operated at its current service level.
