Tracy City Council Advances Tracy Aquatic Center Project

Published on July 07, 2026

At the June 16, 2026 City Council meeting, the Tracy City Council provided direction on the next steps for the Tracy Aquatic Center project, marking a significant milestone in the city’s commitment to enhancing recreational opportunities and community wellness.

The Council reached a majority consensus to move the project into the next critical phase, which moves this project closer towards construction!  Staff were also authorized to begin preparing construction documents with Group 4 Architecture, Research + Planning, Inc. A formal resolution reflecting this direction will be brought back to the Council at a future meeting. Finally, Council gave direction to move the project forward with the outdoor recreation pool instead of the indoor natatorium.

Next steps include:

• Staff preparing construction documents based on Council direction.
• Staff preparing potential funding strategies for adding enhancements like the water slides, lazy river, toddler splash/play pool, and community building.
• A future Council meeting where a formal resolution will be presented for approval.
