Three million euros for pool refurbishment
There is a lot going on at the moment in the Augartenbad and in the Stukitzbad, despite the cold weather. Where great numbers of water lovers spend their free time in the summer, there are currently very different “guests” on site. They are construction workers because the two popular outdoor swimming pools are being refurbished at the present time.
A total of three million euros are being invested; in the Stukitzbad , predominantly the area of “technology” (with regard to water treatment) is being refurbished. In the case of the Augartenbad, or its entrance area to be more precise, a new roof is being constructed. In addition, the swimming pool is also acquiring a very special new children’s playground.
Michel Krainer, managing director of Graz Freizeit is delighted: “With the playground, we are placing the focus on inclusion. There will be play equipment and fitness equipment for all children, i.e. also for children with impaired mobility.” Young visitors to the Augartenbad will thus be able to let off steam in the summer, for instance on a trampolin designed for the needs of persons with disabilities.
The investments in the two outdoor swimming pools which are steeped in tradition are also seen as absolutely positive by Holding CEO Wolfgang Malik and city councillor responsible for shareholdings, Günter Riegler. “The year 2020 was a year full of hardships; these investments are now a signal to the residents of Graz,” emphasises Malik. And Riegler adds: “Holding Graz is thus helping to make the summer of 2021 as fun as possible!”
