MOUNTAIN PARK AQUATIC CENTER
2003
More than putting together a collection of pools, Mountain Park Aquatic Center is really a community center where athletes train, families gather and folks of all ages can have a great time. At the core of that, there are specific programmatic requirements generated by personal safety, instruction, competition, security and the demands of a building with a harsh environment. The challenge is to create a facility where all of those factors and the budgetary needs of the stakeholders align in a way that results in the best and most exciting aquatic experience for the general public. Some of the features of this facility are:
​
-
1-mile paved trail
-
Indoor instructional pool that is open year round
-
Indoor 25-yard by 25-meter competition/lap pool with 500-seat spectator area.
-
Outdoor leisure pool with zero-depth entry
-
Two giant waterslides
-
Lazy River channel
-
Vortex
-
Bubble bench
-
