City Gym Closed for Water Damage Repairs

The city’s gym at the San Juan Capistrano Community Center is closed while it dries out from water damage, city officials said.

On May 23, one of the fire sprinklers was damaged, said city spokeswoman Cathy Salcedo said. Leaking water damaged the gym floor.

“The floor has dried out quite a bit, but is not ready to reopen yet,” she said.

A memo from City Manager Karen Brust says officials do not have an exact ETA on re-opening.

The blowers/machines will be removed on June 24, Salcedo said. The flooring contractor will not be able to work start work on the floor until July 9. 

"He will need to sand the floor, re-paint the lines and seal it. We are looking to open the gym the last week of July or the first week of August," she said.
