Miller Park Pool Project

Lynchburg Parks & Recreation, in partnership with Lynchburg Public Works and in conjunction with the Timmons Group, has developed the project schedule with a thorough understanding of the City’s priorities, community feedback, and the technical requirements identified during the master planning process. To ensure a smooth transition into design and construction, we have allocated time for early coordination with City staff, utility reviews, and permitting.

Key milestones are arranged to minimize disruptions and maintain efficiency. The schedule reflects the City’s goal of having the facility open and operational by June 1, 2027. Although this timeline is ambitious, we believe it is achievable, provided any unforeseen challenges that may arise are addressed. Success will require close coordination, open communication, and collaboration between the project team and the City.

The new Miller Park Pool has been designed with families, kids, and everyday community fun at the heart of every feature. From exciting water attractions to relaxing shaded spaces, the updated design creates a welcoming place where residents of all ages can play, swim, and connect.

The Lynchburg community shaped this new vision. Through public input and feedback, residents shared what mattered most — and the final design delivers on that vision. Highlights include:

50-meter lap swim lanes for fitness and recreation
Multiple water slides
A dedicated children’s play area with interactive water features
A zero-entry pool designed for improved accessibility
Shaded seating and gathering areas for families
