What’s New at Splash?

After a nine-month closure for a major renovation, you’ll find aquatic center favorites with significant upgrades. Now every visit will be more comfortable, accessible and fun! Swimmers will notice a mix of the new and the familiar:

  • Zero-Depth Activity Pool: Reimagined interactive play structure with new features for younger swimmers and families.
  • Water Slide: Taller and faster, with a new design that extends over the pool and includes both dark and translucent sections.
  • Therapy Pool: Fully refurbished with improved lighting, a new filtration system, an updated pool floor and a refreshed design that matches the natatorium.
  • Front Desk, Waiting Areas and Family Changing Rooms: Improved viewing areas plus universally accessible restrooms and changing rooms designed to better serve individuals and families with a range of needs.
  • Temperature Controls: Separate controls for the activity and lap pools will keep the activity pool warmer while allowing the lap pool temperature to be adjusted for swimming and other activities.
  • System Upgrades: New sound baffling, improved water filtration, enhanced air quality and upgraded lighting will create a more comfortable environment while reducing water, energy and chemical use.
