Splash Landings Renovation

Anticipated Closing Date Set for January 2026

 

A timeline is now available for the Splash Landings renovation, with a tentative closing date of January 5, and an anticipated re-opening in early Fall 2026. Splash Landings Indoor Aquatic Center at Park Center is undergoing a transformative renovation designed to enhance users’ experience. From new play features to improved and modernized  facilities, this project will bring improved comfort, accessibility, and fun for everyone in the community. This project is partially funded by a $2.8 million Park and Recreational Facility Construction Act (PARC) grant, administered by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. The Park District will cover the remaining costs using designated reserves, ensuring no additional burden on taxpayers.

Here’s a glimpse of what’s in store:

  • Enhanced Comfort and Safety: Separated water temperature controls for lap and activity pools, improved air and water quality, and upgraded pool surfaces.
  • Revitalized Features: A reimagined interactive play structure in the zero-depth activity pool, a thrilling new slide, and a warmer zero-depth pool.
  • Family-Friendly Spaces: Updated and improved ADA-accessible family changing rooms to ensure everyone feels welcome and accommodated.
  • Modern Aesthetic: Fresh themes that honor the beloved naval design while introducing a dynamic, updated look and enhanced entry and traffic flow.
  • Sustainable Upgrades: State-of-the-art filtration systems for cleaner water and energy-efficient lighting for a brighter, greener facility. The new water filtration systems will provide 90% water savings, 50% energy, and 30% chemical savings, reducing overall utility costs and environmental impact.

Why These Changes Matter

These upgrades will transform Splash Landings into a space that serves every member of our community—from families splashing together to lap swimmers, aqua fitness participants, therapy pool users, and those learning essential water safety skills. Many of these upgrades are also necessary simply due to parts and components reaching the end of their useful life. Splash Landings is a facility designed to support recreation, wellness, and lifelong memories.
