Del Ray Gateway

Introduction

Del Ray's Colasanto Pool has been shut-down since 2010.  The pool and the surrounding area are the gateway to Del Ray.  We'd like the City of Alexandria to turn the Colasanto Pool and Park into an interactive spray fountain and true gateway to one of the city's most beloved and vibrant neighborhoods!  This project already has some funds identified in the City's 2022 budget.  By that time, the pool will have been closed for over a decade

In order to expedite the process, we are working with the Recreation, Parks and Cultural Activities to develop a conceptual design for the site now. The design will inform a budget and help us fundraise and advocate to get this project built sooner.

Please click on the images below to let us know what water features seem most appropriate to you to replace the Colosanto Pool. Your input will help guide the conceptual design. As you review the images, keep in mind that the site should ultimately meet the following criteria:
  •    Be community friendly
  •    Cohesively integrate with the whole triangle
  •    Be a social Space
  •    Include an artistic water feature
  •    Serve as a gateway to Del Ray
  •    Be universally accessible
  •    Not require a lifeguard 
  •    Provide year-round interest
