With a $30 million renovation complete, Lorenzi Park will reopen to the public next weekend.

The park, located at West Washington Avenue and Twin Lakes Drive, will reopen at 11 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 17. There also will be a back-to-school fair beginning at 8 a.m. at Sammy Davis Festival Plaza in the park.

New amenities include new tennis courts, baseball fields and basketball courts as well as a new band shell on an island in the middle of one of the park’s twin lakes. There is also a new splash pad, children’s play areas, picnic and shade structures.

Groundbreaking for a new community pool will take place at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday near Garside Junior High School.

The new pool will be situated between the school’s basketball and tennis courts. It is set to replace the original Garside Pool, built in 1971. The new pool should be open in June 2014.

“I have looked forward to beginning construction on this new pool for Ward 1 residents for such a long time,” Las Vegas Councilwoman Lois Tarkanian said in a statement. “Now the time has finally arrived. By next summer, there should be a wonderful new pool for families to enjoy, at last.”

The new aquatic facility will feature a zero-depth play area with play structures and slide; a heated, four-lane lap pool with a one-meter diving board; two 19-foot-high water slides; locker rooms, showers, landscaping, an entry plaza and a shark bike rack. The entry plaza will include a splash pad water feature.
