The concept was to create a municipal family aquatic center with play features for tots, families, and teens.
The main attraction is the bowl slide, which offers exploratory riders a 32 ft. tower with a chance to shoot down a 95-lineal-foot water-slide into a splash bowl, where they swirl around the funnel, then exit by a vertical drop of 37 ft. into a catch pool complete with exit stairs.
25-yard competition pool with six lap lanes
8,328 sq. ft. leisure pool with several aquatic amenities for children
Two water-slides
ADA-accessible zero-depth entry
Lazy river
707 sq. ft. shallow tot pool
