In 2011, residents voted in favor of a $26 million bond referendum for a new aquatic facility and sports park for the City of Rogers, Arkansas. That dream became a reality in 2013 with the opening of the Rogers Aquatic Center.
The aquatic facility features over 18,000 sq. ft. of water surface in five bodies of water and showcases exciting amenities for all ages. Upon entering the facility, patrons are drawn past the lazy river to the towering waterslide complexes – one featuring a bowl slide and two speed slides and the other providing two twisting body flumes. The lazy river offers a variety of active and passive spaces including water lounge areas and an elevated plunge pool with an overflowing edge.
The six lane competition pool provides for everything from fitness and recreational programming to competitive swim meets and diving. For small children and families, a spray pad and two family pools were designed to keep the young ones entertained for hours on end.
