January 2025 Update:

The City of Hendersonville regrets to announce that Patton Pool will not be opening for the 2025 season due to extensive damage caused by Hurricane Helene. The facility sustained significant impacts, and an estimated timeline for reopening has not yet been established. 

City Council and City staff are actively working with FEMA to explore funding opportunities for rebuilding. These efforts include evaluating options to enhance the facility’s resiliency, ensuring it is better equipped to withstand future weather events. 

The City posted a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for architectural and engineering consultants to assess the site and develop a comprehensive redesign of the pool and surrounding facilities. This evaluation and redesign process, along with the subsequent construction, has the potential to take multiple years to complete and no timeline for reopening has been established this early in the process.  

While we understand the community’s disappointment, we are committed to ensuring Patton Pool’s restoration will serve future generations with improved safety, functionality, and resilience. The City will provide updates as the planning and rebuilding process progresses.
