Pool Repairs 

July 23 Update - 

Dear Regency Parc Residents,

Great News!

The pool is now open, subject to the published hours, dates,  and all posted rules and safety notices.

Frontier Pools has performed an underwater installation of the drainage guard/protector using a new fastening system. This along with the a new plaster surface; new ceramic trim and depth tiles; new safety buoy and rope; successful water pressure and chemical (sanitizers, water balancers, and oxidizers) tests; the reinstallation of the pool ladders, gate safety springs, new signage, and our deck furniture in place, has allowed for the county inspection to pass today.

We appreciate your patience and understanding, during this unexpected lengthy delay.

Thank you and come enjoy the pool!

Board of Directors, Regency Parc Condominium Association

Regency Parc Community Pool Update: Opening Delay & Repair Status

Dear Regency Parc Residents,

We share in your frustration and disappointment regarding the delayed opening of our community pool. Like many of you, the Board members live in the community and look forward to using the pool with our families during these summer months. When we began our repair and maintenance project of the pool’s interior last month—including replacing the perimeter tile, patching floor cracks, and resurfacing the interior plaster—we fully expected to welcome you back to the water by mid-June. While our pool vendor, Frontier Pools, successfully completed the removal of the old plaster and tile, an unexpected regulatory hurdle has ground our progress to a halt.

Because our facility is a commercial pool, our ongoing repairs triggered a notification to Hennepin County. Due to the pool's 30-year age, county officials are currently evaluating whether to force our community to upgrade our existing, fully functional single-drain system and underground pipes to modern dual-drain and larger pipe standards. While these modern standards are designed to reduce drain suction safety risks, implementing them would require ripping up a portion of the pool floor. Our single-drain system maintains a heavy duty, protective cover for safety over the drain itself, which was the standard for commercial pools when our pool was built. Our contractor has completed all the prep work they possibly can, but they have been forced to repeatedly reschedule the work while we await the county's final decision.

Please rest assured that if Hennepin County requires these upgrades, it will further delay our opening, but it will not cancel the 2026 pool season entirely. We are actively pushing for a swift resolution, as we know how vital this amenity is to our community’s summer routine. We do not yet have a definitive timeline from Hennepin County, but we promise to provide transparent, immediate updates as soon as we receive their verdict. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding as we navigate these unexpected compliance challenges to ensure a safe, long-lasting pool for our community.

Sincerely,

The Regency Parc Association Board of Directors

We are continuing our multi-year commitment to enhancing and maintaining the pool area. Last fall, we successfully completed the replacement of several sections of the concrete pool deck to eliminate trip hazards and improve drainage. We have installed new, reinforced doors for both the pool equipment shed and the irrigation system access points to improve security and weatherproofing. Also, we’ve completed a full update of the safety and informational signage around the pool area to ensure compliance with all current standards.

This spring, we’re making three major investments in the pool's interior structure: replacing the tile around the top interior edge, repairing & patching cracks in the concrete floor, and resurfacing the entire interior with a fresh layer of plaster. These critical updates will provide a much smoother, safer surface for swimmers this summer while significantly extending the overall life of our pool.

These updates are designed to keep our pool area looking fresh while ensuring we meet all current safety and compliance standards.
