Blending Old and New
Originally built and dedicated in 1966, this event will mark the facility’s 40th anniversary. The original pool is still intact and remains part of the many amenities the aquatics center offers.
The new features include a splash pad; a 22-foot high, 150-foot long water slide; dive tank; a six-lane pool; interactive water playground; beach entry leisure pool; family changing rooms; circular swim channel; in-pool misted seating and shaded amphitheatre seating.
Opening Ceremony and Early Tours
Following the grand opening ceremony, the public will be invited to play and swim free of charge until 8 p.m. Prior to the grand opening, the public will have the opportunity to get a sneak peek at the new aquatics center at one of two open houses on May 17 and 18, from 5-8 p.m. The center will not be open for swimming during the open houses, but these events offer tours of the facility, water safety information and registration for swim lessons and other aquatics programs.
