The future Grenouillère aquatic center in Antony (Hauts-de-Seine)

The Grenouillère swimming pool, which has been closed since 2020, enters a new era with the launch of renovation work. The aquatic center, located to the south of the Parc Départemental de Sceaux in Antony, promises to be an unmissable place for relaxation and sport. On June 22, Georges Siffredi, President of the Hauts-de-Seine département, accompanied by Daniel Courtès, département councillor responsible for sports, Jean-Yves Sénant, mayor ofAntony, Carl Ségaud, mayor of Châtenay-Malabry, and Philippe Laurent, mayor of Sceaux, laid the foundation stone for this future complex.

The project, led by architect Dietmar Feichtinger, includes three indoor and two outdoor pools, water play areas, relaxation areas, a solarium, a steam room, a sauna and arestaurant. Before its closure, the pool welcomed some 90,000 visitors from mid-May to the end of August. As you can imagine, the reopening is eagerly awaited.

Work, delayed due to high initial costs, finally began in early 2024. Handover of the aquatic center is scheduled for June 2026, followed by a public opening in November 2026. The project incorporates a strong environmental dimension, with 71% of the total surface area planted with vegetation, the creation of cool islands and the recovery of water for watering green spaces.

• An administrative center,
• A changing room-sanitary-shower complex,
