Rose Bowl Aquatics Closing for 2028 Olympics | Bakersfield News

The Rose Bowl Aquatics Center is shutting down for over a year starting next April to prep for the 2028 Olympics, leaving hundreds of thousands of swimmers, divers, and fitness enthusiasts without access until after the Games. Renovations may upgrade pools, diving towers, and systems in this 30-year-old facility, but the closure has sparked concern over where users will train and exercise. While LA28 promises to offset lost revenue with Olympic funding, the community awaits answers on temporary alternatives—and hopes the investment will transform the center into a world-class hub for years to come.
