ASHEVILLE – The city released plans for the new Malvern Hills Park pool Sept. 23. The redesigned pool will replace the nearly 90-year-old swimming spot at a popular West Asheville park.

The pool has been closed since summer 2023 after the city announced the aging facility could no longer be repaired.

The closure devastated neighbors, who rallied around the pool, calling for it to be rebuilt. Asheville City Council members voiced support, and bond funds were later committed to the project, which will also include renovations to the original 1935 bathhouse.
