“After many years of planning and anticipation, we are excited to see the Beach renovations completed successfully, just in time for the 2011 season,” said Park District Aquatics Manager Andrea Coates.
The 2010 – 2011 Centennial Beach Improvement Project began September 7 and continued through the winter months in order to finish in May 2011. The planned renovations included a new front entry plaza and patron drop-off area, a new entrance to the bathhouse, family changing rooms, improved locker facilities, deck-level restrooms and lockers, a new ADA platform lift, a new concessions building with an expanded food menu, staff training and support areas in the bathhouse, and new mechanical systems and infrastructure for the bathhouse.
