UGA’s compromise to Legion pool is less parking spots then previously proposed and an alternative summer sport facility.
The University of Georgia is moving forward with the demolition of Legion Pool and in its place there will be four sand volleyball courts. The field will be considered a “backyard gathering space” for students according to the University.
The pivot to sand volleyball courts was approved by the University System of Georgia, and Governor Brian Kemp has signed off on the demolition order. Construction is set to begin this spring and be completed in the fall.
UGA is the only institution in the SEC without sand volleyball courts. The upcoming addition has gotten a positive response from the Beach Volleyball club on campus.
