R42m revamp underway at Durban's Kings Park pool

eThekwini Municipality says the current refurbishments are focused on repairing infrastructure damaged by strong winds last year.

They include the installation of LUX lighting, glass window replacements, non-slip coatings for stairs, as well as paving and painting work.

The walkway structures and handrails are also being upgraded, and new signage is going up.

The pool was closed in November.

The Kings Park Swimming Complex features both indoor and outdoor facilities.
