POOL AREAS
Parking
One of the most discussed elements of feedback we received was designing separate bodies of water for different user groups, ages, or uses to provide the best visitor experience. The new facility does just that and features 5 independent bodies of water. Splash Pad - The splash pad which was opened in 2023 remains unchanged. The piping, pumps, sanitization and mechanical systems will be updated to allow the splash pad to operate independent of other pool systems. Kiddie Pool - A fenced in space for the little ones & their families. With a zero-depth entry and water depth of 6 inches to 1 foot, this area will have a small tot slide and water playground as well as other splashing fun features. Exercise Pool - Designed to serve a variety of uses this 42’ pool will feature 3 lap lanes, a water vortex and a sitting ledge. The pool will be used for swim lessons and aquatic fitness programming while serving as a space for adults to swim during daily operations outside of the recreation pool. Best yet, all pools are designed to operate independent of one another, allowing for more versatility and efficient use, while ensuring that mechanical issues or health and safety closures in one area won’t necessitate full facility closures. In addition, they provide options for visitors, renters and families to tailor their user experience more to their needs. Recreation Pool - With a zero depth entry on one end and a new and improved slide tower on the other, the recreation pool is where the action is. With a max depth of 3’6” the pool features sitting walls, floatable toys for kids to climb on, a designated in-water basketball and volleyball area and of course new water slides that will be sure to impress. Lap Pool - An independent, 8 lane pool, with water depth from 4’6” to 12’, this pool will feature a diving board, lap lanes that will be open for swimming during daily operations, and both shallow and deep water swimming areas. The lap pool will also feature an Aqua Zip-in (zip-line feature allowing you to swing out and drop into the deep end of the pool).

Shade & Seating
We heard you! More shade and more seating are a must in a redesigned facility! The proposed shade plan includes a significant increase in the amount of shade areas for visitors. Two large shade areas
(one near the splash pad and one between the kiddie pool and recre- ation pool) will provide more shaded areas as well as large cantilever shades throughout the facility will allow visitors to decide if they want a full sun or full shade experience. We are anticipating additional seating capacity for the facility as well. In addition, reservable cabanas will offer the ability to reserve your own shade and seats for your visit. The facility design also includes more seating for users.
Slides & Amenities
The Re-envisioned Experience
Surveys and focus groups told us that the features and ameni- ties in the facility make all the difference.
As a part of any facility redesign you told us to keep the user experience front and center, and that's exactly what we are doing: • Retaining the family-friendly atmosphere • Different areas for different uses provides a choose-your-own-adventure experience • Specially designed places for younger kids and adults • A focus on safety, with separation walls, ropes, and lifeguard stations for maximum visibility • Enhanced concessions experience with ability to serve Sycamore Trails Park • A focus on guest services and first aid - providing a dedicated staff and space to ensure your experience is top-notch • Improved access and accessibility - more accessible restrooms, stairways and chair lifts for each pool to ensure that your visit meets your needs • Sun-shelfs in the pool for a resort-style experience, seat walls for relaxation and enjoyment
The new design includes a new slide tower with three new body-slides, a fully enclosed slide, open slide and plunge slide. In addition the recreation pool boasts climbable floats and an in-water basketball and volleyball area. The lap pool features a diving board and aquatic zip in experience. The kiddie pool provides splashes and play for the little ones and the new splash pad continues to bring all the screams! We think this new design will be loved by all users for its slides and amenities.
