In 1992, the Borough of St. Marys absorbed the surrounding township of Benzinger and incorporated into a city. The existing aquatic portfolio for the City of St. Marys offers an outdoor T-shaped pool with a waterslide and small children's wading pool, all facing physical and functional obsolescence.
The consultant team of hP Architects and Counsilman-Hunsaker developed several new concepts for St. Marys to consider before moving forward with an aquatic project to serve a growing area and residents' growing needs.
