Patton Pool and the Whitmire Activity Center were both damaged during Hurricane Helene. They cannot reopen without major renovation or rebuilding. City staff are working through the process with insurance and FEMA. The Hendersonville City Council sees this as an opportunity to hear from the community, evaluate local needs, and plan for something even better. 

Help Reimagine Patton Pool and the Whitmire Activity Center with the City of Hendersonville! 

The City of Hendersonville wants your ideas to help shape the future of Patton Pool and the Whitmire Activity Center. The City of Hendersonville staff and the CPL consultant team asked for feedback at a drop-in event and online survey in May 2025. 

The consultant team is compiling stakeholder and community feedback and developing options for rebuilding. An update and additional community feedback opportunity is expected in July 2025.

Hurricane Helene caused major damage to both the Patton Pool and pool building in Patton Park and the Whitmire Activity Center and shuffleboard courts in Toms Park. The City of Hendersonville entered into a contract with CPL architects for the Patton and Whitmire redesign process.
