Abstract
The City of Stockton is a diverse and growing community of approximately 324,000 residents, with Oak Park serving as a central recreational and cultural landmark. The 61-acre park includes an ice rink, athletic fields, tennis courts, and a public aquatic facility; however, much of its infrastructure is outdated. The existing pool facility is deteriorated, undersized, and no longer adequate to meet the needs of local families, youth programs, and competitive swim teams. As a result, comprehensive renovation is required to restore safety, functionality, and accessibility.
To address these needs, A3D Engineering Solutions presents design and construction plans for a new Olympic-sized indoor swimming pool. The facility is housed within a durable concrete structure and includes modern locker rooms, spectator seating, and improved interior circulation. The design expands exterior concrete sidewalks and incorporates site improvements to ensure full ADA accessibility. The project also renovates the existing poolhouse into a modern support facility with accessible restrooms and a multipurpose room for staff operations, lifeguard training, and swim team use.
By integrating new indoor facilities while retaining and repurposing the outdoor pool, the aquatic complex provides year-round recreational and competitive swimming opportunities. From an engineering management perspective, detailed preliminary cost estimates are developed to ensure financial feasibility and alignment with the City of Stockton’s budget constraints. The design process includes comprehensive structural load calculations for dead, live, wind, and seismic forces in accordance with California building codes, as well as a demolition plan and CEQA compliance measures. Overall, the project transforms an aging facility into a modern, safe, and accessible aquatic complex that delivers long-term social and economic benefits to the Stockton community.
