The Recreation Centers of Sun City West have a series of capital projects planned for the remainder of 2021.

Here is the tentative schedule and the work that will be tackled during that time:

October 2021

  • R.H. Johnson swim and fitness flooring project – Project began on Sept. 27. Phase one of the project is currently in progress with two week demo closure. Facility lobby and pool to reopen after demo traffic and scheduled repairs to pool deck are complete on Oct. 11. Project flyer
  • Racquetball Courts screen and seal – Project completed on Sept. 24. Courts have been reopened.
  • Kuentz parking lot asphalt mill & replacement
    • Phase 1 – Completed!
    • Phase 2 – Sept. 24 to TBD
    • Phase 2 – After removal of the south lot’s old asphalt, it was determined that soil stabilization is a required step prior to the placement of new asphalt and was also impacted by this past weekend’s (Sept. 25 and 26) rain. General Manager and Staff have agreed to extend the closure for natural drying and stabilizing to take place in lieu of the high cost of concrete powder soils stabilization process. The decision to naturally dry the lots soil prevents approximately $70,000 of additional costs, while requiring 3 to 4 weeks of inconvenient added closure time. Staff is making efforts to reach out to The Foundation for assistance in additional parking to accommodate Softball and Theatre Events scheduled during this timeframe.
    • Phased closure will allow for Kuentz to maintain daily operations.
  • Kuentz parking lot lighting project – Project completed on Sept. 30.

Beardsley aquatic pool lighting project – Project was completed on Sept. 17. Pool has been reopened.

Outdoor and indoor pool leak detectionOn Wednesday, Sept. 29, the Palm Ridge Swim and Fitness building will be closed until 7 a.m. as the water for the building will be shut off so leak detectors can locate a leak on the outdoor deck.

  • Metal Shop Addition – Facility is currently closed. General contractor foundation work in progress. APS scheduled to replace existing transformer to upgraded equipment and install new wiring from Nov. 8 through December.
