The Town of Camp Verde has finished renovations on the Camp Verde Heritage Pool, including work to bring the pool into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The public pool was built off of Apache Trail in 1996. More than 15 years old, the pool had aged to the point where the plaster had started to wear away.

The exposed concrete occasionally caused cuts on skin. Parts of the concrete underneath the plaster where metal bars are used for reinforcement were beginning to leave rust deposits.
