One of them includes renovations to the big pool at the Redding Aquatic Center. “We also have a number of capital projects on the park's side,” said Kim Niemer, the Director of Community Services and Development Services. “We're pretty excited to be replacing some old playgrounds. Right now, we're doing a big renovation to the small activity pool at the Aquatic Center and this is budget will have funding to replace the big pool and re-plaster it.” The Community Service Department also set up a pilot communications team. The team handles a lot of outreach through social media and the city's new podcast.
